I was unable to read an e-mail with a .mim extension and was unable to find a link to download necessary software to enable me to read the e-mail.  There were a bunch of different .mim extensions, but I didn't know which one applied to my application, or how to upload it.  Help.  Thanks

I use AOL 9 and I just received an e-mail as follows:
Sender: an unknown hotmail account
Subject: no subject
Text: "new prices"
Attachment: a "newprice.mim" file.
This mail was classified as spam by the AOL mail program. At this point I would normally have deleted this file but I wanted to be sure.
I opened the attachment with WinZip (http://www.winzip.com)
WinZip found "UNKNOWN.001" as a compressed file.
I tried to open this file "UNKNOWN.001" and I succeeded to open it with Winzip.
WinZip found "prs_03.exe" as a compressed file.
As I tried to execute this file "prs_03.exe", my antiviral program found the Trojan (virus)
"TR/Bagle.AL".
(Never try this if you don’t have a very good and very up-to-date antiviral program!!!)
