I have seen that tag line: "undisclosed recipients' before. It was usually associated with a virus of some kind in the message. Windows users be careful of this one. On the other hand, after I posted to this site a couple of times, I started to recieve spam. The usual stuff: 'stiffeners' salestalk, drug pushers, plagiarized software for sale, etc. Someone on the forum may have his 'pooter' compromised in that it may be collecting the e-addresses of posters, etc. I was off for a while and when I came back, I had over a thousand posts. Over a hundred of them were dreck and had to be deleted. No personal letters at all! All the personal stuff was spam, all two hundred of them and all to my e-address. This forum is the only one I post to and vortexians are the only folks I send e-mail to so it had to come from one of us....somewhere....just don't know where. The spammers don't even bother to misspell viagra any more. To bad they don't put that word in every spam letter.. t'would make filtering 'em a lot easier. Cheers Standing Bear
