Seriously, write these up in notepad then save them directly to the Recycle Bin.

298694 2004-12-01 09:50:00 Nighthawk: can you post the full e-mail heeder in to a post? Tip: make sure you remove your e-mail address first before posting ;) stu120404 (268)
298695 2004-12-01 09:52:00 And if you don't want to post the header, post the most important thing - the originating IP address. Then we can check it to see what range it lies in. If in Microsoft's, you're either in trouble or an MS employee is having some fun. If not, it's just a scam. george12 (7)
