I have often had messages with my name in the title but never open if I don't recognise who it is from. Linda x

if in doubt - delete ! I would recommend to never open anything unless you know who it is from and trust them! Maz. XX

Hazel if I get an email I'm not 100% sure about I open it in WordPad (?) first. Right click on message open properties then details and finally message source. You can then scan the message without risk of virus infection. T.O.R. ;o)))))
