The plain-text email was blank, with an HTML attachment. AVG7 gave it a
clean bill of health so, contents of the HTML attachment follow:

Wow!! Weirdness! When I clicked the HTML link and it opened in Firefox it
was all garbled. When I highlighted it and cut'n'pasted here it came out
perfectly. Here it is cut'n'pasted into notepad, where it looked a mess,
then here:

How come OE rearranges it all and makes it readable?
So, is this a phishing expedition, an Orcon/firefox incompatibility issue or
an attempt at spreading a virus? Running Windows I'm not about to click that
link.
I've had that Orcon free email for several years now, from the first month
they were made available.
Cheers,
