Can't tell you much, it looks like some kind of executable, I don't want to 
test it. :)

The email says:

"Fw:look,my beautiful girl friend

There are two "com.cisco.nm.cmf.servlet" attachments, 92k and 52k. One empty 
one named "Attachment: 2"

I've seen all kinds of ingenious executables, this one is new to me. Guess 
I'll mosey over to Symantec and see what they have on it.
