First, I want to say I am sorry for sending out a email in one group message, but I wasnt going to type this 30 times. Dear list manager, Please remove me from your list for now. It seems that there is a nasty person going through the mailing list and sending out some kind of virus. I have been getting all kinds of email from strangers telling me to "take a look at this file and give me your advice". It requires you to download it. I have not been doing so. I have been deleting the email instead of downloading. Some how, this person(s) has been able to get a hold of my email list form my computer and has been sending the same emails to my family and friends. Some of them with private emails (from work) that are not searchable on the net. Here is a copy of a note I sent to AOL in this problem (it also shows some of the emails I was sent and so were my family and friends): Hello, I don't know what to do. I am getting email like this from a number of different email address'. To make things worse, this person has , somehow, been able to send the same mail to email address' on my buddy list. How is that possible? Some of the email address' I have on my buddy list are through private organizations (work) and not available to the internet public. But these person's are getting them. How do I fix this problem? Here are a few for you to look at that are being sent to me: Subj: M3 Date: 7/24/2001 1:52:08 AM Eastern Daylight Time From:    rjkpl@giasbm01.vsnl.net.in (rjkpl) To:    adib102684@aol.com File: M3.doc.lnk (279953 bytes) DL Time (34666 bps): < 2 minutes Subj: 1843 Date: 7/24/2001 3:14:18 AM Eastern Daylight Time From:    tblack1@houston.rr.com (black ted) To:    ADib102684@aol.com File: 1843.doc.lnk (273637 bytes) DL Time (34666 bps): < 2 minutes Subj: send list Date: 7/24/2001 9:44:57 AM Eastern Daylight Time From:    jtcreacy@home.com (Tanya Creacy) To:    adib102684@aol.com File: sendlist.doc.pif (195757 bytes) DL Time (34666 bps): < 1 minute Hi!
