Well, yes, now that I've revealed my secret, you might look for and
open every attached file I send via email but you better be vigilant
though because very few of my attached files will contain anything
remotely sensitive or important to you, or anyone else for that
matter.
Bottom line is, (as the original poster stated), this thread is off
topic, and we've covered the ground pretty well on hidden secrets in
compressed/attached files, it wasn't all that wonderful or
interesting in the first place. :)
