That statement implies that it is safe to open attachments that you
are expecting. That is *not* true.

Even if you are expecting an attachment from your best and most
-trusted friend, if your friend is infected with a virus and doesn't
know it, the attachment may also be infected, and if you open it, you
are at risk of getting infected. Running an anti-virus program reduces
the risk, but does *not* eliminate it.

The safest rule, and the one that I follow myself, is not to open
E-mail attachments at all.
