Re: [MLUG] Weirdness with emails

[Jason McIntosh <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

It makes sense, I just got the feeling the amount of emails sent, the 
variation in virus's, etc. was excessive, and thus notable.  
Particluarly considering EVERY email has me as the sender, Jay as the 
recipient.  Wouldn't it normally be more typical if there were some 
other recipients?  Jay_Logan (whoever this person is) is the ONLY 
recipient on any of these emails.
