You are correct mate, any returned Email would have the original Email either inline, or as an attachment..

There are loads of these around at the moment - to the extent that my company Email now strips all attachments ending in .exe, .scr, .pif, etc and stick them in a quarantine you can access if the Email turns out to be genuine... (99.99 percent so far are not...)

HTH..
