Eric, Attached below is a strange message I got as moderator for the KIDCAFE list. It is the second one I've received with these general characteristics. I ignored the first one, but now that I've received another one from a different site, I'm beginning to wonder. Here are the strange things: 1) I've never seen a from: address like this with .at. and vm1.nodak.edu in it twice: From: [log in to unmask]:[log in to unmask] 2) The to: address also looks funny in similar ways. It looks like it was addressed to "KIDCAFE at NDSUVM1" and somewhere this was parsed into three different recipients: To: [log in to unmask]:[log in to unmask], [log in to unmask]:[log in to unmask], [log in to unmask]:[log in to unmask] 3) It seems like the text of the message has been placed BEFORE the moderator paragraph. Then the attached message is zero lines long. Did the sender of this message screw it up royally, or is there a bug somewhere? Peace, Dan << Daniel D.
