I received an email this morning that is titled ASUS: RT-AX88U product survey invitation. It contains an HTML file attachment. It was sent from neweredm.com domain It looks fishy to me. Anyone else seen this?

I don't open emailed attachments, period. Even for trusted sources, I download from a Dropbox, etc. account that I know is theirs. Or I will have them send it via Slack or Skype.
Nope. Just practicing smart tech hygiene.Do you have an hat made of aluminon foil on right now?
The attached HTML file is what made me immediately suspicious.Attached HTML files looks like a fishy way to conduct a survey. Every company that I'm aware of will redirect you to a website that provides survey services.
Did you deduce that from the sender's address? That can be spoofed. To be certain, open the full view of the message headers and track back to the original sender.I received an email this morning that is titled ASUS: RT-AX88U product survey invitation.

Smart move! Maybe 3% of all email users even know the difference.I opened the full acsii view and got info from the actual header.
