hi guys, it's not mysterious, and it's not a hoax or anything like that. If you just hit reply and then arrow down in the message to see the full headers, you'll see her address is related to an access technology group, and that the message was distributed through the list. She has to be a subscriber, even if she is either new or a lurker so that she hasn't been visible until now. I'd say just reply and don't worry about it, and her spam program will put you on the allowed list so she can receive your JFW List postings. Believe me, I've been put through some real hell with very badly designed filters of this sort, ones that use that graphic code blockade, what are the initials or the acronym, "captcha" or something? Anyway, this is no hassle at all, by comparison. And it's not fishing or spamming or whatever, either. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eileen Lafond To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 12:01 PM Subject: Re: email needs verification?
