I have been putting these emails in the spam folder, till curiosity got the better of me and showed me it was from Freebmd group. Because I am not getting where it is from in the subject line, even after all the time I have been involved with Freebmd, I thought it was just spam. Just my $1 worth :-) Katherine --- On Tue, 19/7/11, Cliff Falconer <cliff@falconerau.com> wrote: From: Cliff Falconer <cliff@falconerau.com> Subject: RE: Old dead nun....
