Default email from unknown person

Hi
i have just recieved an email from 'anne' i do not know this person and in capitals the subject is 'important'
i have got an up to date Norton anti virus (just tried to update now but it is already up to date) and the free version of zonealarm (i might try to see if there are any update, but it is only about 1 to 2 months since i loaded it)
i suppose it is possible for something to bypass my virus checker and firewall.
Would you open the email? it might be a genuine email from somebody?
cheers

open it through webmail if possible, that way you will be able to see the message body without worrying about attachments...
