It wasn't wrong to open an email from your friend, even though it was in the Spam box,
that sometimes happens to legitimate mail.
what you got was a piece of every day spam,
the links inside may or may not have been harmful,
but you didn't click on them anyway, so nothing to worry about,
But congratulate yourself for doing the right thing,
which is, of course: be suspicious of links in emails..
Thanks for your reassuring words.
What made me panic is the fact that my friend's Hotmail account had been hacked and this had been sent out to everyone in his contact list, but fingers crossed all will be well.Stopped smoking 27/12/2007, but could start again at any time :eek:0
