Yeah, I saw it.  :-)  Been seeing many of them too for some
reason since yesterday.  Since it is obviously happening to
others, all I can suggest at this time is possibly a new
virus.  I personally have been receiving several viruses a
day (and norton has recognized all of them), but there could
be a new virus out that AV programs do NOT have the
definitions for yet.  I know of a few list members that got
viruses (but not from this list) on their PC's and sent them
out to members on an individual basis.  Soooo.....all members
can do is keep checking every few hours for updates for your
respective AV software programs, (and since this list strips
all attachments and converts HTML to plain text), watch VERY
carefully all emails you get off-list.  Don't open ANY
attachments regardless of from whom they originate.  If you
use Outlook or OE, there's nothing you can do about HTML
formatted emails since once they are in the preview pane,
they ARE 'opened'.

OK   .
I see I sent a blank message at 7:06 this am in response to
CTC197 Repeated
failure etc..
Well ,  I did not do anything to cause an e-mail to be sent.
(nothing I am
aware of)
This has happened another time or two on another forum.
Anyone know what is happening here ?  As usual  I'm confused.
Almost like I have a hot key set up somewhere but I can find
no pattern for
this to happen.
