I have been getting these also. I get the impression they are linked to the "Novell GroupWise" system. I advised them, and the subscribers involved, to reconfigure as if I continued getting the "message opened" items I was going to start deleting. The errors continued for several days, including "opening" my advisory note, so I started deleting. So much for volunteer listowners being gentle.
