Hello "Genie":

What's the meaning of this line::

> Message-ID: <000801c71f72$1b734360$<mailto:000801c71f72$1b734360$>>

It looks to me like you have information about me and my computer that you didn't get from this mailing list and should
not have as a list member.

You don't represent Ancestry.com, I suppose?
By the way, I _have been bombarded with spam the past few weeks.

Sam
