[Leica] OT: Odd Spam Question

[jhnichols at bellsouth.net (Jim Nichols)]

Benjamin, I'm no authority on the various types of spam, but I do try to 
read some of the warnings from various sources.  It is my understanding that 
some spam mailings are simply an attempt to invade your computer in order to 
plant some rogue software for purposes known only to the originator.  If I 
were you, I would run a virus check on your machine.
