For starters, I'm not the one who sent you that unsolicited (spam)
message.

Here's what happened: that Lewin character sends a spam message to a
whole lot of people, but puts the address of a mailinglist
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) in the Reply-To field.
So instead of replying to him, your message was posted on the mailing
list. Since I (and all the users of the list) have nothing to do with
Lewin or slickpictures.com, we can't do anything about it.

Here's a good advice: NEVER reply to a spam message. Repeat after me:
NEVER REPLY TO A SPAM MESSAGE (sorry for the shouting ;-) To the
spammer. your reply is the confirmation that your e-mail adress is
`alive' and will probably result in more spam being sent to you.

If you get bugged by spam messages a lot, here are some interesting

I hope they are of interest to you.
