The English in the message is pretty poor, and it says something about people sending snakes, if you didn't notice. One would probably want to call the American Red Cross or some other organization in that area to find out where to donate to. Actually, they have web pages with a number http://www.redcross.org/ and stuff about the Florida fires is at: http://www.redcross.org/news/ From there you can get to a related FEMA page that says where to contact to donate: http://www.fema.gov/Diz98/d1223n18.htm Craig - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
