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 :)) .
