Note the msg subject was not what Zane reported.
Okay Bruce and others, it seems somebody may have been either lurking on the
list and harvesting email addresses or broken into u.washington.edu's server
and spoofed their server into the classiccmp list.
The same problem has been happening with another list I'm a member of. A
leadoff message in a thread discussing it is copied below and can fill you in
some info already known of this:
I think the problem is that someone has an infected PC and whenever they
read a message from one of us, we promptly get that reply.
What can I say? Eudora, Mac's, Linux, or other non-Windows OS's are your
friends :^) Guess we should be glad there aren't a *lot* of people running
MS Outlook on this list!
