New Outlook Virus Lexmark 04-12-2006

I just downloaded my emails into outlook XP and received a suspicious email
with a 35kb size. The message is obscure so I assume it has a virus in it but
McAfee didnt notice me to any viruses.

McAfee is updated on my PC.

Is this a new virus? or is it possible to not have the virus even after it
is downloaded to outlook? I still have the email in my online inbox.

Please help...

No one can answer your question. Naturally it could be a new virus, or
just one that your antivirus doesn't have definitions for. If you want
to see what it is, you can send it to VirusTotal:

Otherwise just delete the email and its attachment unopened.
