Yeah, this looks like one I've got yesterday too. 

The message was different and even the password was different (clever
virus-writer huh). I bet it is a Bagle.Gen-zippwd (who gives them names
actually?) sort of worm, but am not sure. 

I dare not to open it at all. At least my ClamAssassin fetched it and
sorted it into my Virus folder. This means that ClamAV (for Linux)
recognizes it as a worm/virus

Kind regards,
