[Sderby] Spammed to death!

[Tony Martin]

Many thanks, but why has it just started doing this I wonder as I have not
changed any settings? Weird huh.

Hoping to set up a Linux as my main box again soon, but after last time I
have to be sure I can carry on my work or it's down the soup kitchen!
Still not sure which way to go. Standardised Red Hat?, Desktop friendly SUSE
(But uncopyable), or friendly but not perfect install Mandrake, or even
Caldera. Haven't heard anything about that for a while now.

Cheers
Tony
