I meant 'know' as in 'likely to send me a Windows executable'.

There aren't too many of those (I can think of only 1 right now),
and if you read the email first it should be obvious whether
it's a real email or not.

And the email had better explain what the .exe is too and
why they felt the need to send me it :)

Running any attachement you get via email is like playing
Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun.
