Alan, LF,

You wrote - 
"Never put your email address on your web site in clickable form"

Yes, that is exactly what I did some while ago but since removed it but it
was too late :-(

Thanks for your comments.

Cheers,

Gary.

I am afraid not Gary, I have been seeing these and getting non-delivery
notices for years. I stopped signing my messages with my address when I
realised it was being harvested. Anyone can "forge" an email address
unfortunately which is why BT-Yahoo insists on Authentication being switched
on. Never put your email address on your web site in clickable form...use an
image. I made this mistake when i fiirst put my web site up in 2002.

Cheers de Alan G3NYK
