Thanks for checking, Dan.

I am (like Tony) most surprised that you've been hit with spam on your
gmail account - this was my first 'genuine' spam message and was
flagged as such by Google. In fact, I've had to rescue a few regular
forum messages from the spam trap over the 4 months or so I've been
using GMail.

The 'de' account I used to use for forum mail gets 70-80 spams a day
and I put that down to high visibility - as I was using it for this
and other lists. Whereas my personal account (clients, friends,
family) gets maybe 5 a day.
