Hi all, staff where I work recieved a lot of E-Mails like these a number of years ago so I submitted a sample to our antivirus supplier.  They found these to be the result of an antivirus system doing an incomplete job of removing a virus during the E-Mails transit.  These may possibly be the same thing.

Yes, we have gotten about 2 of these types of emails.  The file is a named 1.txt (61 Bytes in size) and the email subject is "1".  We are a company with about 35 email addresses under our domain and have received viruses through some of them in the past.  This strange email has come to 2 of our accounts - 1 last week and 1 today.  I got one today and did a google search which led me to this site.  Very odd since the attachment seems to have no virus payload which you would expect for such a strange email.
