Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
The mails I've been receiving ARE attached to a website I
have set up and I do not know the people replying (it was
set up for a relatively small group).
Excuse my stupidity but what are cached web pages?, sorry
if this is a stupid question. Also, how do I analyse the
headers of the e-mail message?
