* Maybe the first on the list to read a spam email could reply

* when you order your messages by subject you can see it before 
* opening the original one... This only works for people who

Alessandro,

Well on the one hand that sounds like a good idea but on the other we just
increase the volume of OT messages. I think that a warning on messages like
this one that blast your screen with a ton of pop-ups is in order though.

Seems to me that there is a hole in Yahoo Groups security at the moment. We
have been hit with SPAM about 4 times recently and the last from another
Yahoo group. (interracialmatch).

Hopefully the volume will stay low as there does not seem to be much we can
do.

Martin
