I have not seen the original spam message but have seen several replies to it 
so the spam must have been written in HTML and so hit the bit bucket on my 
machine without my ever having seen it.  Nice these filters which auto dump 
spam to the trash!!  I discovered early on that NO HTML message was worth 
either my time or effort to read, so made a filter.
