Looking for the HUNT research Lady that lives in CHESANING MI. Lost your e mail address. LEE GI MI

Greetings all. Judging from the number of messages we receive asking about it, there are a great many people in Canada that do not know who their Member of Parliament is. If you are in this situation check the following URL. http://www.parl.gc.ca/information/about/people/house/PostalCode.asp?Sour ce=SM If the URL wraps around in the message you receive, make sure that you include the whole URL. The end of the line should include everything up to the 'Source=SM' This URL will take you to a Government of Canada website where you can find out who your MP is by doing a search using your six digit postal code, i.e. V3C 2V9. The result when doing a search this way is a picture of your MP with both their Ottawa and Constituency Office addresses. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

Greetings All. As I see it there are two different situations here. One where an email message wants you to install a foreign language font. You can pretty well bet that these messages are SPAM, At least in my personal experience every one like this received has been SPAM. As another poster stated, if you click cancel on the box to install the new font it goes away and you can simply delete the message. Receiving a message that has a from address and subject line, and the body of the message is blank, you can pretty well bet that it is the result of someone having your e-mail address in their computer being infected by the Klez virus. The message body is blank because your anti-virus program (in my case Norton) is up to date and has deleted the text that it has determined carries a virus. You can determine this for sure by opening up the full headers of the message. Normally, after all the header information and before the body of the message will be a notation that your anti-virus program has deleted the text message. Delete this message as well and do not worry about it. Because I am a high-profile user of email and my email address is in a great many PCs I get several of these a day, sometimes more than a dozen. Attempting to contact the owner of the infected machine is normally futile because the virus forges the 'from' and 'return to' addresses.

Hi I get <I've been getting a number of messages that ask if I want to install Chinese language> also. It's been going on for about a week. First it asks me if I want to download something or other. I click on cancel (that's like in Pronto!) and there is a new message after the download screen goes away. The message appears to be legit but usually has a different font than any other that I get. Who knows?

Hi everyone, Many television shows are now beginning to air with the one-year anniversary of September 11 approaching. I wanted to share some information with you that I learned from one of the documentaries. While we are left breathless and speechless by the loss of human life at the Twin Towers that horrific morning (and rightly so), many of us may not realize that historic documents and artifacts were also lost. We chatted not too long ago about the neighborhood of Five Points - the infamous Irish slum that is now the site of Foley Square. In 1991, an archaeological dig was undertaken there and many artifacts uncovered. These finds were housed at the Twin Towers. Heritage Preservation of Washington DC, estimates that more than one million artifacts from the Foley Square dig were lost. 'One of the most important archaeological finds in the history of Lower Manhattan,' noted the group. You can read Heritage Preservation's article on the lost artifacts, including finds from the African burial ground, at: http://www.heritagepreservation.org/NEWS/Cataclysm.htm You can take a virtual tour of the archaeological dig of Five Points at: http://r2.gsa.gov/fivept/fphome.htm I hope I have not offended anyone by mentioning this loss. I, too, lost loved ones on September 11, and mean absolutely no disrespect to them or their families. Take care, Tracy IRISH-NEW-YORK-CITY list admin

Thank you to everyone who responded on and off list regarding list mail problems. There doesn't appear to be any pattern that I can ascertain. I have alerted the HelpDesk and will let you know their answer when I hear back. Thank you again, Tracy IRISH-NEW-YORK-CITY list admin

Hello Tracy, I thought you might want to know that I also got the "Drop Down"-download box to install Chinese Characters. I press Cancel & it goes away. I have had it happened a few times while on this List! It is very strange, if not spooky! :) Bye, Cath

The notes about the Chinese alphabet all seem to be coming from Robert Fitzsimmons, last one was "Re: [IRISH-NYC] Re: OCCUPATIONS sent 9/5/2002 at 9:23PM This was the body of the message: Virginia Interesting because my Mom was the interior designer on the Equitable job, if you mean on 31st street Small world is it not slainte sheila ==== IRISH-NEW-YORK-CITY Mailing List ==== Do you miss receiving MISSING LINKS and SOMEBODY'S LINKS?

Hi Terry, Are these messages about installing Chinese characters coming from the list? Do they have the Irish-NYC prepend on it? I haven't received any of that. All of my list mail is coming to me in symbols. I thought it may just be another AOL problem, but I'm not so sure. Take care, Tracy

Hi, I've been getting a number of messages that ask if I want to install Chinese language. I've said "No" each time - but can't figure why the Irish list would need Chinese?

Would anyone who has been receiving either blank list messages or messages that contain symbols or jibberish, please contact me off list. Both Jim and I are experiencing problems with the content of the list mail, and we'd like to see if it's our server or a more widespread problem. Thank you for your help!
