Dear All, It appears that my account was hijacked by some unknown person, or persons. I was informed of this by Michel, and have been beefing up security. The FW: post sent to the forum contained an odd foreign link. I have not opened it. It may contain something offensive but I do not know. If so, it should ideally be removed from the forum forthwith. I have not posted here for sometime but I may do so in the near future. Regards, Robert Searle.
I clicked it open. It didn't seem like it was something you would send....some kind of advertisement...can't remember what for. On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 8:54 AM, robert searle <[email protected]> wrote:

FWIW. whenever I see an attachment with a strange subject line I automatically check to see whether the sender is using a Yahoo account and if so I delete immediately (as with the one from Robert Searle). I have no idea what the story is but Yahoo seems to have more or less completely lost control over its email accounts and virtually all the Yahoo addresses I`ve seen for the last year or so have been spam.
