Trojan Hides in Postcard

Sophos has just posted a warning about an electronic postcard that is being sent out containing the Trojan Mal/Zapchas-A.
The email's appearance makes one think that it came from a friend and is very similar to any other postcard one might receive asking the users to go the some site to download the postcard. The file is named postcard.exe which should serve as a warning immediately - most e-postcards and e-cards run as a flash animation embedded in the website itself.
Full information and a copy of the actual text of the message can be found here.
