Do the emails have a subject, is it possible those peeps have you in their address book or someone you do email has both of you in their address book, or have sent email to you in the past ? (I just confused myself !)

If so it could be the Klez virus that is going around, that will attach a random file when it sends. You can check for it with the tool from : http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.gen@mm.html

Theres a better description than my attempt here

sounds like Klez (maybe) if it is... its most likely not from the person you think it is.

You need to look at the properties for the email and find the real address - thats the person thats infected.

Be carefull who the reply goes back to, with Klez it might be to someone who didn't send it and hasn't got a clue what your on about !
