George, Thanks for your message and hope you soon get things sorted. However, please let us know if you have continuing difficulties. As Nivard pointed out your "spam" message purported to come from your genuine email address which is in our membership list, which is why it showed up as normal on the List. By now most of us have received similar fake messages ovr the years from people on our own email address lists, so we know to ignore them, and hope the "sender" is able to clean things up successfully.
