I got that email too, from somebody else. foto.zip is a zipped file that contains two other files, one of which appears to me to be a virus. Couldn't find much on the internet about it, but it was enough to make me delete it without running it. Most of these things go through the address book (invariable MS Outlook) on the infected machine and randomly pick two addresses, one to send the virus to and the other to forge for the return address. All you know from looking at the return address is that your email address and that one both are in the address book of some other poor schmuck whose computer is infected. There's no way to even find out whose computer it is in order to warn him.
