I thought I would send you a copy of the email I have just sent out (direct and not through the list) to the members of the digest version of this list so you are aware of what is going on regarding these viruses and what I have found it necessary to do.
Normally I would of written to the server administrator for help, but as you may or may not know the server is owned by our own Nancy Lee and I am sure you wouldn't want me troubling Nancy or her family at this time. Anyway the message copied in below should explain. If anyone has any queries regarding this please email me off list. On a final point, as I have just spent an hour tidying up our complete archive and removing all the viruses there if you don't want to read mail from the list you can do so online through the link on the members page of the JFC site [http://journeyfromclutter.com] Louise > -----Original Message----- > From: Louise.king [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 4:34 PM > Subject: JFC Admin Please Read > > If you are receiving this email, which is coming direct to you and not through the JFC list, then you were a member of the Digest version of the JFC list. > > The JFC list has recently been inundated with viruses which most members have thankfully escaped due to up to date virus checkers.
