I did at first until I noticed that the links were not consistent, and some they looked more like the things a Klez worm would pick up. Some were obviously not going to lead anywhere if clicked because syntax for a link was bad, others seemed to go to the main page (index.html) of genuine sites without any sort of appended code that would help a spambot. Anyway, I probably won't see any more because I have built kill filters for it, but I still was curious as to what it was. -Abigail CDW> -----Original Message----- CDW> From: Abigail Marshall CDW> I keep getting emails with a subject that starts,"Hello abigail" and CDW> then contains this text: CDW> "Sorry about that.
