Dear Vicky and others who wrote me
It is not me who sent this message, but someone with a different adress
If you look very carefully at the heading of the email, you will see that the adress used is not mine (I have always been at yahoo, as anthere5, anthere6, anthere7 and now anthere8).
The person/bot used Anthere as nickname to appear to be me.
The person/bot also used a copy of a mail I send as Anthere6 to the mailing list last february, as an answer to a mail from Eclecticology, on a game issue.
That email was send at my anthere6 adress, as well as on the english and the main list. I had only three though, I am surprised you had 4 Vicky :-)
Yes, it appears to contain a virus.
Yes, it should have been stopped by the anti-virus anti-spam stuff of the mailing list. Either it was not, or someone thought it was a mail from me, and freed it.
I will insist that my email adress is very well registered on all mailing lists. And if I could ever send a mail from another mail adress, I can very well go to the admin interface and liberate the message myself . So should any other messages from someone looking like me be blocked, be careful before freeing it people. And perhaps be careful for any usual editor blocked email as well these days :-)
Vicky, please look at Brion comment on the topic as well.
My Macintosh is well behaved and does not breed with PCs to make ugly little dummy and deadly emails :-)
She is just yearning for Brion new friend.
