Emails Regarding My Ad/posting.

I get emails from people regarding my posting that in subject area say "attaching computer file about your cl post". I click on it but nothing happens. Other than that the email says nothing and just has 3 links to craigslist. Are these spam or legitimate relies? Am I doing something wrong?

It's likely that your email service or another program you employ withheld the attachments as probable spam. It's poor policy in any case to open attachments you did not request, as such attachments are the major cause ot the transmission of malware.
