I think my ISP scrubbed the payload -- turns out there was no .html .  Full header revealed a google email return path.  I had responded to their previous email with "please clarify", there was never a chance for a payload to be executed.  .  This was a new one to me.

The only possible problem I see for the future is that they now have your confirmed valid email address :smileysad: Be sure to put their email address on your blocked senders list.
