It was only sent to a handful of people, just a group of members that are known to the sender. It does appear, from the content, that the sender is not aware that it was sent. It looks like their address book was spammed, so sort of related to Purrs but it didn't originate via our member system so to speak.

Have copied and PMd it  :shify:

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

Not here, but not sure i would bother trying it. If someone whose name is not known to me sends me something like that it goes straight in the phishing scam reporting bin ...

I have posted this in the private area as well.

I just got an email saying "Does this work" - it. is from Michael Webber who I have never heard of

There is an attachment to open called chinese.pps

It is addressed to various purrs members.

Anyone else got it?
