just as a side note. I got also yesterday a Virus from "Robert Collins", but this time the email address was robert DOT collins AT volkswagen DOT de <g>. I don't assume Rober is working for this company.

Even more interesting: I have different mail addresses for the Cygwin list, depending wether I am at the office or at home. My home address is registered by gmane.org and I received that faked email at home! So I assume, someone is grabbing addresses from there ...

Regards,
Jörg
