***** This email was sent via the INTERNET ***** All Not really blaming the list but Antoinette may be right...I don;t mind really as I do recognise them every day and just delete...one of my daily tasks!!! Just wondered.......................as we couldn;t detect where they were coming from and trying to narrow things down.

Other people in my office, who are not on this list, do get them regularly.

I use this e-mail address on the DP mailforum and get no junk e-mail (Touch wood! I'm sure it's only a matter of time....) so doubt if the list is to blame. The longer you use an e-mail address for, the more likely it is to be picked up by Trojan horse type viruses and end up on the more dubious mailing lists. Fortunately for me I changed jobs eighteen months ago, and have been very careful where I posted my new e-mail address since. But I suspect you've been using the same e-mail address for a number of years and I think this is one of the unfortunate side-effects of that..... -----Original Message----- From: This list is for those interested in Data Protection issues [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Broom, Doreen Sent: 20 September 2004 13:11 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [data-protection] Direct Marketing ***** This email was sent via the INTERNET ***** All Am intrigued as I seem to be getting more and more of these medicinal e-mails, body part extensions and of course the wonder drug for golden oldies. I wondered if this was due to the fact that this list is public.....sorry, if I have missed something but think I am coming down with flu and brain not functioning too well today....it is a Monday after all.
