Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Breast Cancer / April 2005Sort Of Good news
Hi All, Had a bone scan recently - no new visible "hot spots" since September scan. Original one on iliac a bit larger. Anyone else getting all sorts of phony cancer cure spams - suspect they pickup from this NG? Greta  SignatureAll outgoing mail has been scanned for viruses by Norton AV > Hi All, > Had a bone scan recently - no new visible "hot spots" since September > scan. Good news :-) > Original one on iliac a bit larger. Anyone else getting all sorts of phony > cancer cure spams - suspect they pickup from this NG? I don't know because I don't open anything I don't recognise, everything is deleted. Some is deleted which IS recognised. Because my addy is genuine (it needs to be) I'm prone to15 - 20 a day but it's no big deal. It's just like chucking away the stuff which comes through the letter box inviting me to have a loan or a credit card or insurance or ... But there have been some ON this ng and not only for snake oil <G> Mary > Greta > Anyone else getting all sorts of phony > cancer cure spams - suspect they pickup from this NG? > Greta I don't see many. Thunderbird deletes about 60-100 emails a day for me un-downloaded that I don't see more than a quick flash of the header. That why I have an advocacy line for it in my sig. Most of it seems to be in roughly equal proportions a) porn, b) pharmacy and c) in Chinese or Korean and unreadable. But many of headers give no indication of the content. Some of that spam results from exposing my email address on this ng for many years. I also know some results from having shown my email address on internet dating dating sites.

How do you know if you don't see it? ;-) Mary >>Thunderbird deletes about 60-100 emails a day for me >>un-downloaded that I don't see more than a quick flash of the header. > > How do you know if you don't see it? ;-) It quarantines them for several days, so I can look at the headers if I want to, or if I think it might have junked something important, like if I am expecting a mail from someone who's email address I don't know.

I simply dump anything I don't recognise or am not expecting, then empty the deleted items folder. I can't be bothered double checking. If I've missed anything important, tough! It's like people telephoning when we're out and haven't left the machine on. If it's important they'll try again. How's that for vanity? :-) Mary > Some of that spam results from exposing my email address on this ng for > many years.

I had a few issues with thunderbird but it does have a great filter. Any dates from the internet dating? Alex >>Some of that spam results from exposing my email address on this ng for >>many years.

Alex Yes, but nearly all interest from abroad, which gets expensive. Odd that. The Thunderbird pre-release had a few problems, but even that seemed preferable to OE. Since 1.0 came out I've had no problems. SignatureTim Jackson -Who needs to pay Microsoft?

Odd that. <Warning American slang joke> And from whom would you wish interest, if not from a broad? </warning> Someone had to ask. Ann T. Remove 'dontsendspam' from address to reply by email >>> Any dates from the internet dating? Alex >>> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Ann T. > Remove 'dontsendspam' from address to reply by email Let's not go there, I could offer several alternative snappy answers to that one. Since you ask, I'm currently "courting" (in the internet sense) a lady in Kenya, with two children around Natasha's age. She organised us a terrific safari holiday in the Masai Mara at Christmas, and is now awaiting visas to come here. It's a slow process.

That's the best way, I believe. Mary |
