"All your posts are now going to a secret box on AOL." Well, that would explain the recent up-tick in spam lately. WTF?

Not only is there a 'vo' tag in front of all the posts to the list, but the headers of the files are lengthened as well as well as re mails of your posts to AOL. All of them. All your posts are now going to a secret box on AOL. I did not subscribe to AO-Hell, and heartily object to all my Vortex mail being sent there. I have a Linux system and know well how to sign off of Vortex. This unrequested mail change has lengthened headers on all my mail with re-mails to Vortex to unsub and resub with every mail. All my Vortex mail goes to a special folder in K-Mail. This is a KDE 3.1 so it yet retains the ability to shred and totally destroy spam. One post from BillB sent later with only the subject line of 'vo' contained a segment of 8 bit characters that I took to be either a virus or a silent re-direct to a viral site. If Bill B could cause this subject change attack to become effective on my computer, then all of your computers are at risk. I will not only unsubscribe, but will have to shred all user files under the this user. This change may have been to Vortex's service provider as it appears under no other list but Vortex. Either way though I will take no chances. I'm supremely gratefull that my linux system can be set to refuse to process HTML in e-mail like. Some newer hyped up e-mail systems for linux like Ximian DO process HTML and refuse to allow the e=mail user to stop this. That is why I refuse to do e-mail on any system but linux, and refuse to use any linux system using kernel 2.6 or newer for any secure e-mail or browsing. I will now unsubscribe from Vortex and sign off this user and shred its files 40 times using Guttmann. That way all the virus will be dead dead dead and will never darken my digital doorway again.
