Sorry, blaster doesn't spread by email... it spreads directly from
computer to computer via the internet. You can catch it if you have an
windows nt, 2000, or xp machine that hasn't been patched connected to
the internet and you do not have a firewall. Note, if you shut off the
messenger service to stop popups, that was a warning that you were open
to the internet and vulnerable to attacks like this.
