Wrongly Addressed ! ! !
A man checked into a hotel at some far away village in Nairobi. Finding computer in his room, he decided to send an e-mail to his wife. Accidentally, he typed a wrong e-mail address and sent it without noticing.
Meanwhile, in Houston, a woman had just returned from her husband's funeral. The widow checked her e-mail expecting condolence messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Reached
Date: 16 March 2006
I know you are surprised to hear from me. They have computers here, and we are allowed to send e-mails to loved ones. I have just reached and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
Looking forward to seeing you TOMORROW!
Yours loving Hubby

Also, before reading an e-mail, one should check address of the sender.

On a serious note, referring to the misleading practice of phishing:-
Many a times, the sender's display name is made to look like an email address. So, one needs to be extra careful to confirm the sendors actual email address. On top of this, reply address is allowed to different than the sender's address, which should also be confirmed before hand.

You are right. To be safe from virus, hacks, cookies, etc., sender should be carefully veried becore clicking to open the e-mail. Else, it should be deleted.
