"Cellpadding" - What does it mean?

I received an e-mail from the Set Registry and "cellpadding" was the title of the e-mail, but there was no text. Anybody know what this means?

cellpadding is a term used in website building (the space between frames or tables), sounds like a virus type e mail, strange at best.

If you get emails that include "programming" words in the title, it's almost certainly a virus.

Never open attachments from anyone, unless you know the person and understand why they are sending you attachments.

Sounds like the "e-klez" virus that comes in every now and then. I get similar notes (including one a few days ago from another registry member) every now and then but Norton Anti-virus detects them and either quarantines or deletes them. I don't believe that the virus is harmful to your system in a "wipe your hard drive clean" kinda way, but my guess is that if it made it to your machine, that other people will get emails like that from your email address from time to time - allowing the virus to expand its territory.

Thanks for all the info. Just to clarify one of the points - this didn't have an attachment or text. It came the e-mail address "SetRegistry@collectors.com", which is the one listed on the website, so I would have thought it was legitimate.
