Foxy, you lost me. I only run OS/2 if that answers your question.

I don't do any Windows email 'cause I don't have it.

I don't know why I'm getting so many of these things but I've noticed a
really big spike between 11pm and 2am -- which is when a lot of people
turn their computers on in Europe. And at least one of the mail lists
I'm on (WGET) has dispersed this thing to all list members several
times. I've stopped tracing the headers and have added filters (84 of
them) so they all end up in one folder. I'm getting about 100 a day
right now; hope it slows down soon.
