I have deleted the message from the Google Groups archive (but
it will be archived in many other places), and am replying
simply to alert people that we know it's spam, and all we can do
is wait until Google adjusts their system to reject future
attacks. Google has been MUCH better at rejecting spam in the
last couple of months (managers see a greatly reduced level of
spam attempts reaching the queue of messages needing approval to
be posted, and we haven't had any spoofed spam for a long time).

It could have been a symptom of a successful hacking of my gmail
account. I found a message with some To: and Bcc: adresses which are
part of my address book, but dated from a time (27 December between 8
and 9 AM) when I wasn't at the computer. I have now changed my password,
and I hope the intruding application (which Google had already partly
"blocked") will now be stymied.
Best regards,
Tony.
