I know that is why you block everything that comes in with it attached. I did this when that Last virus was being spread around a few weeks ago and presto no more problems.
The best way to get a person who has an infected system to address the problem is to post about it or reply to all of the mail - without send the attachment back.
But 99.9% of the emails you will receive are from people you don't know, so just block them.
