In the past you had to open the attachment.  But for those of us using
Microsoft products, I think you can be at risk just by reading the email
because of host scripting.  I use outlook which blocks scripts
automatically.  I get a newsletter from www.wopr.com which is informative.
It's free.

Are you exposed to a virus just by opening an email msg or do you have to
open the attachment for the virus to be able to execute?

similar question on links to web sites.  If the email msg contains a web
site link, does clicking on the link and browsing to the web site enable a
virus to execute?
