Does her email contain one of those silly v-card signatures? Any links
in the message? Hidden image calls in the HTML?

I can't recall, but the siren sounds and it asks me to
delete/ignore etc.
I tell it to ignore it and get the email OK, but it's
annoying me.

My guess is Avast! is complaining about white space in the subject.
Easily fixable if true, but pure conjecture on my part.

Strenge. Usually. If avast! is not sure it says the mail is
"suspicous". If it says it's a virus it usually is!

None of that, the emails are plain text, no
attachments.
The only thing I can think of is her email address,
which is:
name.x.surname.TakeThisOut@companyname.com.au
Maybe Avast doesn't trust the ".x." part of the
address?

name.x.surname is a legitimate construct for an email address.

Read the source of the email and look for any other odd stuff that may
be buried in there.
