Subject:Re: spammed after sending to the list ?

After re subscribing to the List a few months ago, one of the first messages
I got was "Snow White".  I carefully deleted it but received it a couple
more times over the next week.  No more since.

I had gotten "Snowed" months prior (I never opened the attachments) but my
ex-girlfriend confessed she was the carrier so I blocked all her future
e-mails with Outlook.

Have been running and updating NAV regularly with no known side effects.

Subject: spammed after sending to the list ?

I've lurked on the list for some time, and then only a week ago,
joined and sent a message.  Within a day or two, I got a spam
from a porn site about Snow White and the seven dwarves.  I've
never used this email address for anything but that posting to the
list.  Today, I got another one, same porn site, same message.

Did anyone else get that particular spam ?  I suppose some web
spider, or whatever those programs are called, are picking them off
of the archives web site ?
