One of my MSN contacts received a weird mail today. It was 136K in size and contained a link. The properties of the link showed this location: cid:TlCe4815r What does it mean? Sand Hawk ---------------- -Earth is 98% full. Please delete anybody you can.

It may be Klez, that's most of the times around 120 to 150KB.
If there were TWO attachements, you can almost certainly be sure it's klez: klez always attached two files: itself, and a random file from the harddisk of the (unknowing) sender. It also gives a random sender so the reply address isn't the real sender.

Klez has so many variations that one with a link in it isn't impossible...

Oh, and of course don't open the attachements

A link in an email that starts with ''cid:'' means that that link is pointing to one of the MIME attachments to the message, if I remember correctly.
