All,

I have been contacted by one of the regular contributors to the ng who
has had an email that supposedly has come from one of my addresses (the
one I use, albeit 'altered', for FAQ matters), with links to German web
sites.

I have just performed a full scan on my system and confirm that there
are no 'nasties' lurking (at least, not known to the latest update for
McAfee), and the Firewall is intact and active.

If I send 'cold' emails to people (i.e. I initiate the mail to ask for
information etc.), the 'Subject' would be appropriate ... e.g. 'Re your
entry in the FAQ' (or something similar). I don't send attachments or
links within the email, unless you already know that they will arrive -
i.e., I've contacted you beforehand, or you are one of my very small
list of people (only 4 on this ng) I regularly send items, e.g. the
updated FAQ to Les Crossan.

If you get anything that pretends to be from me, and is vaguely in
German, delete it!

Martin.
