It is very unfortunate that these messages got through mailing-lists so easily. I also got hundreds (thousands ?) of copies of those messages in a week. Some messages even with me as the (apparent!) sender and recipient. And so did other people (Sebastian Rahtz, Olaf Weber). This is a big annoyance, but that seems difficult to get rid of it. So be prepare to other flooding like this in the future. Fabrice
