You should see the latest MiMail Variant (Q). MiMail is famous for using
LookOut Expres MHTML Object Tag code base exploit to do to version 6 SP1
what Bugbear and Klez does to version 5 using the MIME exploit.

Anyway the latest MiMail bring up a cute GUI dialogue box with Windows
logos telling the user that their Windows license has expired and they
must send all their personal details to Microsoft (really the virus
writer) to renew it (such as credit card no, maiden name, daughters
hotmail/msn account etc)

I give most of my Windows using customers Mozilla Thunderbird in
replacement for OE. The built in junk mail filter is usually the real
sweetener (:
