But not only "SPAM"
Also virus infected gated e-mails!!

The next 2 (28 parts) netmails (I deleted most stuff) did I receive.

! Both original e-mails (virus infected with attached *.exe files) !

I found several times in my e-mail IN-BOX  (NO, I'm not infected;-)

Today I got these via netmail (unreadable) also.
It's obvious they are gated to fido by 2:5037/21
