Rob,
         This trouble, at least as far as the list is concerned, might have=
=20
been preventable. Do you use Outlook? It's one of the most attacked email=20
programs in existence. If you were to add an dummy entry in your address=20
book that shows up alpha numerically first ... like !!!0 or something like=
=20
it for the name, the delivery to everyone in your address book would fail.=
=20
You would then probably see some sort of pop up failure notice and delete=20
the sending of the whole job and also thereby notifying you that you have=20
picked up something. Perhaps you already do this. If not it's certainly=20
worth the effort. Just trying to be helpful FWIW.

Best,
Greg Newell
