This one is not an address-harvesting spammer. Instead this is an attempt at fraud. The "African" country almost certainly was Nigeria (has been for the past 8-10 years through snail and e-mail, although occasionally others). They catch enough people foolish enough to 'help' them collect the money they supposedly no longer have access to, and the robbery/fraud is on. -Spode ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
