[LINK] The ZIP email and the PDF email

I can't say if the ZIP exploits a problem in WinZip, that just seems 
weird to me.  I do know that the files are either 29KB or 79KB in size.

I haven't looked at them, simply because I haven't had time in the 
last 8 years to really give them any attention.  I don't open zip 
files unless they are sent by FTP :)

I've not see any PDF files.  But again, unless I know the sender and 
have requested the file, it's going to get trashed.  The only PDF's I 
get are scritps anyway.
