This has been very helpful. It's making me think that maybe our mail
gateway has been infected. I'll continue to research. Thanks for your
help.

After reading this thread I would suspect your E-mail gateway has actually caught and quarantined the virus and passed along the text of the E-mail message to you for your information.

If you received no attachment or received an attachment that says the original attachment contained a virus then everything is working as it should.

Chances are that the message was part of a broadcast of spam messages rather than a legitimate message to you alone.

Hope this helps!
