Sure!
You too were, if  had had to face a medium-size hard disk destruction (not
the content, I previously made a backup!) due to a blank message with
attachments like this.
And if you wander how could it happen, I discovered that some present HDU
control the heads positioning via a rewrittable memory table to ease damage
remapping... What about something capable of random writing this memory?!
:-((
And for all list'sake I prefer to be paranoid!
And you? ;-)
