    Check your Gmail account, particularly the "sent" folder. I just noticed about 20 emails sent out to three people I know that went out within a minute or two of each other. This happened around 45 minutes ago.

    They all have a .dat attachment at 0k in size. Looks like they all are responding to emails sent out last January through March. No text in the body.

    Weird!

    No issues with mine, thanks for the warning though.

    Remix, you have a Mac correct?

    Lots of viruses (virii?) sent here. But it's on purpose. :D

    Seriously, nothing wrong over here ...

    I wonder what in the world triggered my account to send all these winmail.dat emails to people? Again, all of them were replied marked "READ" with subject matter from January thru March. I got a couple of calls about it today.

    There were 27 in total, sent between 10:45 and 10:46 EST.

    Werid, weird, weird.
