I won't open email from people I don't know esp if they have attachments.

Afterthought: How do you know which mail is genuinely from people you know? If you simply elect to believe the name in the From: header, then you're immediately at the mercy of malware-carrying SMTP worms like SirCam, which forge SMTP mail to make it appear to come from names and addresses familiar to you.

So, your protective measure not suggests a serious problem with you using untrustworthy mail software, but also is ineffective.
