When I got up this morning, I was aware of the spam to the Azores list (I got it only 6 times). I deleted it out of the queue and moderated the sender until she contacts me and tells me she's got her computer fixed. So I don't know how one wound up on the list (may have been operator error on my end, in a rush to go teach summer school. I'm really sorry about that!)
As a rule, don't open emails that just don't sound right. The ones with nothing in them but a URL are dead giveaways. The subject is usually (*no subject*) and the body only says something like www.clickonthisURL . com. I've seen a few with a little text in them now: You'll like this: www.clickonthisURL .com. Since the topic of this list is Azores Genealogy and the body of the text only says "You'll like this" and doesn't explain anything, don't click on it. People sending URLs to the list explain them. One of the last ones was Joao Ventura letting us now that the priesthood applications and marriage dispensations are going up online via his web site. He stated that in his email. He didn't say "Here you go" because no one would go to his web site to see what he has. Again, sorry for allowing the spam through!
