Thanks so much, Spider and Gangle.  I ran the virus check on my computer and
it came up clean from any virus, so at least I'm reassured about that.
I would be interested to know how they can use my Email address - or at
least look like they are, but so long as they aren't sending out loads of
Emails in my name, then I can stop being concerned.
Odd though.
