Hi Edwin,

Some of the attachments were images. There was one attachment with the
extension .eml, which is the file type associated with messages that are
forwarded as attachments. Many people like to forward messages as
attachments so readers don't have to listen to the often numerous addresses
in the header. They are about as safe to open as emails are. 
In Thunderbird, suc attachments are opened automatically and pasted into the
message, as are text files. I have pasted below, the text of what was in
that attachment. It may be missing images or links the message would have
included.

Cordially,
Bill
