That may explain what happened. An undesirable website was launched and something printed. I was not happy! I wonder why Norton didn't catch it?

Possible, if it has a link or attachment you clicked. Otherwise, it shouldn't execute anything automatically. What mail program are you using??
Outlook and I'm using the preview pane. I've heard or read (long ago) that preview panes can launch some scripts, but I use it more often than I open the email.

This is a new one on me. Is it possible for an email to contain a virus or trojan horse that executes a print command?
