Doug, and anyone else interested
It turned up in my junk mail.
When I previewed it, I thought 'this is garbage' so deleted it. I'm sure
others will do the same.

Personally, I would follow the usual rule: if it is from somebody unknown,
and unreadable into the bargain, it is probably dangerous. I am an
Administrator on two mailing lists. Sometimes people are looking for a chat
hub, but this email isn't. We aren't a chat site either.
This content is totally irrelevant to us.
I am surprised you even mentioned the email to the members. Nobody else
replied. It is a routine decision for the list's Administrator.
You can't rely on the site's spam filters. A guy on another list received
one of the spams telling him he had a fine to pay. He asked how he could
stop them coming. I replied that he needed to use common sense and deal
with them, not duck the responsibility. He wanted to use XP because he
liked it, and didn't care that any security loopholes found since April 2014
are not being plugged. Is our committee like him? Maybe my depression
makes me argumentative, but this one is obvious. Thankfully, the members
have limited liability.
Doug.

I think it is up to the Committee. We have had plenty of spam
purportedly coming from members. I think that the "base64" means it
was sent from a Mac, but I am not sure.
