(Granted, it's not Stella listserv, but it's close!) It's not a legitimate message. I'm guessing it's spam masquerading as email from the stella-main mailing address.

These masquerading email worms/viruses are a major pain... -- Brad ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
