Should I open E-mail Attachments?

The best possible answer for this is NO! Unless you know who is sending the attachment!

An important note about email attachments: If you ever receive an email with an attachment from someone you do not know very well, do not open the attachment. This is especially true if the attachment has an .exe (executable) extension. These are very often viruses that can seriously damage your computer's operating system and files.

Delete the attachment or if unsure as what to do contact the UW Oshkosh help desk at 920-424-3020.
