Microsoft word attachments received from unknown senders From Jeff at Ackley Uniforms on 13 Sept '99 A few months ago I asked the boarders here about how to handle email containing attachments that occasionally are sent to our online business Most said such email should be deleted without opening the attached files because of virus risk. I realize the risk in opening .exe and .bat files. But is there any risk in opening an attachment labeled "Microsoft Document File" (.doc)? How about an Acrobat file (.pdf)?
