Hi all A different theme from the usual malicious subscription request, one of my list members has just received a confirmation e-mail generated by someone else. He is adamant it is not him, he is a long-standing list member and I am inclined to believe him. Now, the response includes the standard text:- "If you do not wish to be removed from this list, please simply disregard this message. If you think you are being maliciously removed from the list, or have any other questions, send them … [View More]

by Moss, Patricia April 17, 2008
