I received the same mail, and I am pretty sure that is a new kind of

You're welcome to your opinion, but analysis of the Email and the 
things it links to clearly shows that there are no viruses (i.e. self-
replicating programs) directly involved and thus the entrapment Email 
was almost certainly spammed.

I sent a copy the Symantec and TrendMicro, but don-t have an answer
yet...

Aside from my description, already posted here, Trend has posted 
descriptions of the dropper/downloader and the Trojan it fetches 
(sorry, URLS will wrap):

ME.N  

http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=TROJ_AG 
ENT.EK  

Symantec's scanner quite likely catches at least the scripts in the 
spam and/or in the .CHM it downloads on vulnerable machines 
heuristically or under one of its exploit detections, so samples of the 
spam sent there may have fallen into a "black hole", or at least a 
lower priority queue...
