You received that too!! Strangely enough, although the e-mail address looked
familiar to me (it was a carrot@... something, which is an address which
belongs to somebody on the list I'm sure), the "Howlsedhes Services" was not
normal. Luckily, my webmail is so primitive that it prevents virtually any
virus to enter my computer though e-mail (that's the advantage of a webmail
that doesn't accept anything else than plain text :)) ). In fact, it's even for
this very reason that I wouldn't want this webmail to begin accepting more
elevated formats like HTML (I receive it as plain text, but can open a new
window to see it correctly, so it's not that much of a problem).
Hehe, sometimes, using a tool less advanced than the ones available can be an
advantage :)) .
