Occasionally this has happened to mail from people who are in my address book.

I'm beginning to realise that Africa once again equals "junk". I wondered whether critical geographers who discover this message amongst their spam would let me know so that I can get some impression of the extent of this (obviously people who don't check this occasionally will be lost to this piece of "research".)
