By infected do you mean emails from trusted people that have this extra
text
inserted into the message or just emails from random people with it in?
If
random I wouldnt worry too much - its one way they might use to beat junk
filters. If its friends, it may be they are infected (and most likely
running a PC). Are there any attachments?
For me I have be getting lots of emails with the subject headers as
"returned email: undeliverable" - this tends to get through junk and spam
filters easily - or use to:)
