Hi, I got a so-called "Alert" several days ago when I posted a reply to Martin Altmann's query about costs of space telescopes versus weapon systems; supposedly it was from Martin's ISP, except that it wasn't. On dissecting the "message" I found a substantial block of embedded "data" which did not show up as text nor anything else you would find in a message. I destroyed that message immediately and ran scans. I've just burned off all your messages mentioning it since some people have included or copied all or part of the "alert" message in their mail to the List I would recommend on-arrival deletion of any such messages, not by "deleting" in your email program, which only flags it as assigned to the "Deleted" folder and leaves the message intact, but by using Shift+Delete which will erase it from disc (on a PC) and a scan. I believe that the material in the message had likely been disabled before I got, but I don't trust that it was.
