Thanks, Fred!  
Got it.  
The From: is a spamtrap, but I plucked your email out before any 
'damage' was done.  The fact that it only scored 1.15 made it stick 
out like a sore thumb at the top of the long list of spam.
Thanks for posting that you'd sent it.

The email addy in the .sig is good, but (hopefully) un-readable by 
newsgroup/forum spammer scrapers....   

Now to go off and do the update....

Thanks
Jonesy
