I haven't seen that one, but if your e-mail program has the ability to
block e-mail from a specific user that would probably be the way to go.
If you want to invest time, you could track down the sender's ISP and
report him or her to them as violating their TOS (sending mass
unsolicited e-mail with questionable attachments is usually a Terms of
Service violation). I actually caught a virus that e-mailed my AOL
screen name and password to four e-mail addresses...all I had to do was
look into my Sent Mail file to track them down and report them. All the
accounts were terminated. I have no doubt they just signed up with
other companies, but at least I caused them some trouble for the trouble
they caused me.
