Re: spam

That's indicative of someone on this list having a virus.  Given the odds, I
would say that's a pretty sure thing at almost any point in time for a large
mailing list.  E-mail viruses/Trojans often use names they garner from
information in the infected computer.  You are more likely to open mail from
a name that looks familiar.  And, I should point out, having a person's name
in the from field doesn't mean that person is infected, it's more likely to
be someone that you both correspond with.

I have been receiving a new set of spam messages recently.
What is interesting is that the names seem to correspond to the first names 
of gwl list members,( oops and ex-members) eg. Lon Miranda,
Has anyone else experienced this?
