As I have only given this particular email addr out to people on this forum and nowhere else, I would like to advise everyone to be careful with the email addr locutus@wanadoo.nl. I recently received an Email from this person which norton scanned and found a virus. The reason I post is because that email sound familiar for some reason. As I stated in the title, I am not ammused. Be careful!

Keep in mind it may well not be the sender's fault, probably isn't actually. Most virii hijack address books and propogate themselves through given addresses without the user even knowing their computer is hijacked .

Also, when you said;

Don't forget that the 'email' link in your profile bar ( below each of your posts ) have a "Mailto" link, so spiders can trawl the net and pick that up.

Arg, that is annoying. Well, just be careful with that sender. I actually heard after posting this that the email that sent me the virus is very common to see. I guess it was on the news or something. Oh well. Least I didn't open it!
