Depends - many people are so used to email at work pretty much always
containing attachments that they probably just habitually open all of them.
My So reckons she gets 30+ mails a day at work and they almost all have a
brief text message and a thunderingly huge attachemnt (wp file, spreadsheet,
pdf. whatever) and it makes no diffrence whether they are internal or
external mails. And when the title of the email makes it look like it could
be someone pratting about sending joke emails...
