suspicous item detected

Every time I ceck my mail using Eudora 7, Avast pops up and says “suspicious item detected.”
i get about 400 emails a day and a lot of spam.

1 - E0udora 7.1 doesn’t open mail, just lists it, is there any danger?
2 - Is there anything I should do to avoid trouble? I simply delete stuff I see as spam, without opening it. Should I delete all items in that embedded or attachment folder on a time schhedule?
3 - Below is the screen capture of one from today.

Any advise is appreciated. This machine is currently :thumbsup: and clean. Current version of avast, runs Malware bytes every 2-3 days.

Image is attached, since I can’t figure out how to embed it.

Thanks

1 - E0udora 7.1 doesn't open mail, just lists it, is there any danger?
but are they downloaded to your machine?

seems there is a attachment doc avast does not like?

That screen cap was just the final straw to get me to ask for advice. happens too much.
When I look into the folders containing embedded files and attached files, there are always files from spam emails. I do not open them.

1 - Are these deleted or quarantined (sp) by avast automatically if avast deems it a threat?

2 - Am I correct in thinking that the embedded files and attachment are not malicious since they passed both avast and malware bytes screening?

your screenshot above say deleted

if avast deleted it as the screenshot above say....then there is nothing to detect

do you know what mail these are?..are they from fedex / ups / dhl

oh, now I’m confused.

when Eudora finishes getting all the email, then I sort through it mostly hitting the delete key.
I was thinking that when it was highlighted and Avast gave the audio warning, that it was just that.

you’re saying it automatically deleted by avast since it saw it as malicious? There are usually 300-400 of these emails in a group. If Avast woudl see them as malicious, wouldn’t avast delete it before it appeared in my in box?

Here is one where it said :threat has been detected:
