Ron Jensen, The message I received contains no links. It has no visible content at all. It does have 2 attachments, both small. I have not tried to evaluate them. Although I am not prone to panic, I am inclined to "act" when the situation indicates that action will improve my position. Your apparent acceptance of the occasional exploit of the Flightgear list suggests to me that it is unlikely that improvements to it can be expected. I will "Unsubscribe", but often this does not remove contact information from a List that is repeatedly being compromised ... so unsubscribing does not prevent my information from being accessed by future exploits. Therefore, I ask that the Administrator for the List actually remove my entry from it. Panicked, no, but unwilling to 'make myself available' this way, yes.

No need to panic. It happens from time to time, delete the e-mail and don't click the link(s) it contained.
