I was wondering why my message showed up late. I Already had the answer and it was only moderated because I tried a picture attachment to reply to a query. Only a dozen? You're lucky this is not a Really high volume and more general list. I spend a half hour every week just deleting junk email, unsubscribing from things, blocking or reporting spam, etc. I've "subscribed" to things I've never heard of. But I keep my old webmaster email, which got a lot of traffic. One trick you have to watch out for is a blanket email with a phony unsub link. That's to find out if there's a live person on the other end, rather than a dead box chosen at random from a huge spam-list. When you unsub, they can then try to really get you with a phony letter from your bank or "You won a Prize" or something more devious. Although the appeals from Nigerian princes have dropped way off ;') Jim _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
