PDF Junk Email

[wavery]

In the last couple weeks, I have been receiving a lot of junk mail containing pdf files. Has anyone else noticed this lately?

Yes, and I've been impressed that it got past the Fort Knox firewalls we have here at HCA/Tristar.

Thanks for the link........I wouldn't open an email with a pdf file attached for anything, unless someone I knew told me in advance that they were going to send it.

I say, if they're gonna spam....let it contain a pdf file. Makes it easier to clear them out. Sooner or later, all of the email providers will offer a feature to automatically delete any email with a pdf attached. All that memory waste must be jamming up the servers as well, it would be to their advantage to just dump 'em.

Dear Wayne:  

I am pleased to let you know that I am an original cosponsor of the Counter Spy Act of 2007, S.1625, authored by Senator Mark Pryor.  Our legislation is designed to address increasing concerns that I have heard coming from many people, especially Californians, about unauthorized software
