Indeed, those particular email messages have nothing in them to repair.
Their contents are entirely spurious and virus containing. Delete them
out of hand. If it is someone else's email delete the virus containing
email and send a note to the user that the virus was deleted if you feel
you must do anything at all. Include only the headers from the original
email.
