BTW, the spams being sent by the former Nigerian general are no laughing matter according to the fraud investigation departments of the US Secret Service and the FBI. According to them lots of people are actually falling for the scam and they are getting ripped off to the tune of many thousands of dollars. If you do a google search on the Nigerian scam you can find lots of true stories about how some people who ought to have known better have been ripped off big time by this scam. Maybe it was a good learning experience for them to find out that they can't outscam a Nigerian. It's too bad that some people have to learn their lesson the hard way. BTW, US citizens are requested by the government to forward all such spams, to include complete headers, to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". The number 419 is the number of the section in the US legal code that covers these types of scams. Sam Heywood -- This mail was written by user of The Arachne Browser: http://browser.arachne.cz/
