nature,
I just got exactly the same thing...I spammed it!
Why was the supertopo link highlighted and ready to be clicked anyway? As if we don't know where or what supertopo is.
Don't click on it!!

Yeah I got one of those too! Kinda weird, never had this happen, but think I'll ignore it and hope to god it goes away. If it's locker, I'll respond, otherwise.....go away.
Peace
and a happy new year

I have a feeling that after a few more people check their E, we'll see some more posts here. I doubt if nature, ron and I are the only ones who are so "attractive." LOL

Well, Mercy me. So to speak. I got one too. Hopefully there isn't a weakness in SuperTopo's e-defences, that allows spammers to fish for all our addresses.

Ridiculously easy here!

Just copy the above into your browser with different ids. You could easily write something in Perl, Python, or script wget to do it in a loop from 1 to whatever...
You might have to do it from a machine that you are logged into so a cookie is set up. Have not tried that...

I actually was looking for some spider related stuff the other day. You can get spider's that can extract e-mails from web pages.
Why?
To sell as a mailing list, I guess. I suppose if you are really clever, you might be able to send back an e-mail that denies that the account exists. (The mailhost does that when an account really does not exist.) When that does not happen, the sender knows the e-mail is valid.

Bam, Delete!
I thought maybe you'd gone over to the dark side, and instead
of cutting up fish, you were cutting up that potted meat product
Ugh!

Apparently I got one, also....Went right to junk folder & I never open those. Occasionally, something will go there that I don't want there, but I can usually locate those in time.
Actual Spam tastes better than online Spam..... :-)

Dang! And I thought he might really be interested in me for my inner beauty!
The link is just the supertopo url so your email reader interprets it as a link. When you hold your pointer over a link the actual address should show up at the bottom of your page. Also you can View the source of a message which will reveal any html code.
