I had a similar situation about a month or so back, where the other half
got mail from a dimwit who created a mail list by simply dropping a list of
all the addresses into the to: field
I pointed out the problems it was causing and Christine promptly sent them

The reply was an apology and said that other (Windows user) people had had
problems with that mail...
