Is Judi Ryan a virus?  Can anyone tell me how to stop these messages
pouring into my mail box.

Dorlis, Alice, 
 Is Judi Ryan a virus? I don't know her, but I guess it depends on who you
ask. We can all get under other people's skinn once in a while. But, no, she
is not a computer virus. Just a auto reply gone wild, in effect replying to
itself that it was away. No need to panic here, nor unsubscribe to get the
messages to stop. Malgosia already took care of that.

Andrew,
 Yes indeed, unsubscribe to any and all groups before setting up your
autoresponder for while you are away. (Most groups have an archive that you
can check when you get back to see if you missed anything important).
Otherwise we all get the pleasure of the many messages as we did with dear
Judi. (Oh, I just know she is going to get some grief over that when she
returns.)

Christopher

By the way, what's a vacation?
