Lyn suggests sending the email back. Official advice is NEVER reply to scam/spam email. It lets the originator, be it electronic or human, know that your account is a live account and can generate even more unwanted mail or worse. Jean in Poole, Dorset, UK - To unsubscribe send email to maj

Dear Nancy, Then we are as one, because I can easily see that the colored threads show where things go so much better than plain white. I have a 3 volume set of a beginner book in French, paperback, where they use colored threads solely for the purpose of following the path of the threads. Howeve
