This is common on this list. > My worry is that it may be a spam attempt to harvest email addresses, > or something even worse. > Many frustrated people post to this list. Their frustration coming across as anger directed at the program, at the developers of the program or at the email address they may think is going to a help desk. > I have tried to create an anonymous persona to reply to 'her' but when > I tested my attempts to do this, they all got caught by Google Mail's > spam filters, so the chances are that 'she' would not see them either. > Not necessary, email addresses used on this list can be harvested direct from the server. Yours is here: http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgNo=65024 This list is often mistakenly stumbled upon by those seeking help, or wanting to vent frustration, and it is not unusual to receive emails of this type here. Unless you have a specific reason to suspect email harvesting as a motive, I respectfully suggest you disregard that as the motive for the original email. If you are worried about harvesting, then register two email addresses. Post on one and only ever read using the other. Most email clients allow you to set the outgoing address on a per folder basis. This allows you to drop all emails coming in to the posting address. Many ISP's will let you do this at the server. -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Sent from my BlackBerry device on the Rogers Wireless Network
