Subject: [alt-beam] About that obscene mail ...


Hey list,

I was wondering what you were all talking about, because I didn't get
it. Darn! (just kidding). I figured I wouldn't say anything, just in
case someone decided to keep me from missing out.

Anyhow, I finally did get sent the message, and thanks to all your
notes, I knew what it was and blew it away as soon as it arrived. As it
happens, that's my standard practice for ANY attachments from people I
don't know and trust. In fact, I blow away attachments from some of my
friends who have the objectionable habit of forwarding stuff they find
on the net.

So now to my question. Did anyone have problems with their mail server
when receiving that message & attachment? Such as, did your mail server
hang up, and then give you a strange message when you tried to reconnect
and receive your mail? And then ask you for your password?

Just curious,

Bruce
