There are nasty spammers and nastier viruses proliferating on the web, many using incredibly deceptive/devious tricks. For some time, I've been getting ones that purport to be from me--with attachments--that I've never sent. Tonight I got one that came with the name Museum-L and a note that said "New Changes." Uncharacteristically to Museum-L, it had an attachment. I was suspicious but wanted to make sure that, if the list owner, John Chadwick, was invoking some new policy, I didn't want to miss it. But I also didn't want to get tricked and unleash the plague from hell on my computer. I'm telling you because you may receive something comparable, and you might want to do what I did. By now, you probably know that list posts are archived. You can query the archives in many ways. I went to the archives, located here: http://home.ease.lsoft.com/archives/museum-l.html I selected this week's posts and then sorted them by threat. I then scanned for the subject of the note I had received. Needless to say, it wasn't there. It's a pain to have to take these extra steps, but it saved a great deal of heartache. If you receive something suspicious purporting to be from someone on the list, check the archives before you click. You may save yourself untold aggravation. ===== Indigo Nights [log in to unmask] ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
