However I do put these in my spam folder for spamassasin. You were sent a copy because someone on the list had your address or one of your postings in a place that the worm was able to harvest your address from. I do agree that public historic archives should have email addresses obfuscated. So to folks on this list: If you read mail from a windows box do update the system to collect known bug fixes. Do scan your box for viruses. Of interest some of the recent worms trundle through shared file systems looking for addresses and other opportunities. Thanks, mitch -- T o m M i t c h e l l
