here's what I do when I get email like that. First and foremost, I do not open emails that are obviously spam. It amazes me how I keep seeing people post here about how they opened what is CLEARLY spam. If I suspect that it's spam, I use Mail's "Save As" command, and save the email as a text-only document to the desktop. Then I open it in TextEdit. About 90% of the time, it's spam. If the spammer had a graphic in the email that could be used to track your email address, it won't work because I'm opening it outside of mail, and can see all the HTML coding.
