I didn't receive this email, one of my co-workers got it earlier and provided a printout to me, so I can't provide headers. Here it is as Outlook formats it for humans:

The attachment we got was a screensaver type file, most likely to exploit the autorun feature of screensaver filetypes on Windows, in order to drop a malware payload of some sort in the receiver's PC. I thought I'd post this here in case someone does a search for this "company" before opening up any attachments. Now, off to warn people against opening up attachments in suspicious emails.
