About emails with the subject line “Trend Micro OfficeScan detected …”

If you receive an email with the subject line “Trend Micro OfficeScan detected and took action on a malicious email”, you will receive an attachment called “original.txt”.
This is a text file of the original email to alert you when you receive an email using the “Email Search Function” which has the following suspicions:
1) Suspected virus infection
2) Mail header bloat
The best way to deal with this is to “save it as a text file and open it with a text editor”.
