Dear All,
The recent list post from Jeong-Hwa Lee's address is a well-known hoax, due
to someone apparently having hijacked her e-mail account. Please do not
give money (it will not go to her!?!!) and do not otherwise respond to the
message.
Unfortunately, from a list admin standpoint, the typical anti-virus and spam
filters cannot protect against a malicious message actually sent to Funknet
from someone's real e-mail address. I've put the address on Funknet's
'moderated' status until this is resolved, so that no more hoax messages
will come to the list.
Let's end this topic now.
