"Join the crew" is a hoax.  There is no known way of
taking damage by only opening email.  The info contained
in the file only goes onto your screen, and into your
mailbox.  To take damage, you must RUN a program of some
sort.  DO be cautious about unpacking any attachments and
running them.

For more info, see:
