Is there any chance that some virus checkers would get confused also?
The reason I am asking all these questions is that there are several
people in the web forum who swear up and down that spammers are sending
them viruses (usually in response to a report).

I just am trying to figure out why they would think that.  Usually the
only 'paperclips' I get are either files that I am expecting or
viruses.  Occasionally, Fw:Fw: will have files attached.  So the
'paperclip' is a heads up that this a virus for me so it might be for
other people also.

Would OE get confused about this particular sample because I have 'read
in plain text only' checked?
