[NSP] Re: Beware of the 'prayerbone' message!

[Colin]

I too thought it a little odd but my PC didn't do anything and, looking at
the "message properties", I can't see anything unusual etc in it.
I am hoping that it was a typo in the subject line  and they actually wanted
to leave the list but "prayerbone" is an odd username and not many of us
bother with them now (probably far to vain to hide behind a false name
<grin>).
My security stuff didn't find anything but please let us know your results
and, if genuine, could prayerbone please post and let us know as they may
still be on the list.
