Dear all,

Re. Jodel's post, the spam in this case was almost certainly 
transmitted by the klez worm (virus), which is sent in message 
attachments. Attachments are discarded on all our lists, so you are 
not at risk of viral infection.

For more information on the klez worm, please visit the following 
link:

Any spam that reaches our lists in this way would be picked up by our 
pending message system as coming from a "new" member, so there is no 
need for concern about this.

If anyone has information on potential viruses or spam, please 
contact the Moderators at HPforGrownups-owner at yahoogroups.com rather 
than posting direct to the lists.

Thanks!
