If they'll go to the effort of saving an encrypted .zip file, then
opening it with the provided password, they'll open a .doc file. I'm actually not convinced that the encrypted zip file technique was ever very successful. There's no way to prove it was. All those worms sent out in this way were also sent out in unencrypted form. I've asked the malware companies about this over the years and never got an answer, and I think it's because they don't know, and they can't know.
