Noel.. Sounds like a hacking job to me !! I would look further into it ! I was watching Watchdog and they were on about hacking into laptops while using wifi in public places. To show how easy it was they took control of someones e mail account who was in a cafe with his e mail account open and sent him an e mail which when he saw it was from himself !! Hope ya get my drift Noel !

Noel, I`ve been putting this question on a few technical forums that I`m subscribed to and the general answer is, if `reply` or `forward` are used to an email, then the original senders name appears. In other words, your original message has just done a complete circuit.

Linda:
Back in the 1950s, there was a council estate being built (somewhere in the Midlands, I think). It was a big one, something like Broadfield. The builder's plans had missed one important feature - a door from the entry or lounge into the back of the house. The only way from the kitchen into the lounge and hall/stairs was to go out of the back door and round to the front.
Thye builders built 300 of them like that before anyone though to query it.

Thanks Jim, but it doesn't make sense to me. Surely if you forward an e-mail you have to insert an address, if you reply to an e-mail the sender's address appears in the sender's address box, or am I missing something here?
By the way the PC got picked up as per the e-mail from myself.[:p]

Noel, I am convinced that your account hasn`t been attacked. So don`t worry about it. As I said earlier, this is a known phenomenon.

I suppose you guys in the uk may have seen it, but last night I just watched "Flood' which was a disaster movie about the flooding of the Thames barrier etc. Thought it was quite good and felt quite eerie as we in NZ are having tsunami warnings very frequently due to the earthquakes in the Pacific. Obviously- over dramatised - but wonder whether this global warming thing will eventuate- I should be long gone before then....

Sandy:
If you think the flooding of the Thames was bad, you should go look for coverage of the floods in Boscastle, which I think were in 2004. I visited the village with my sister when I was over for a family funeral and got the book about it.
I don't know if there were any documentaries, but the British "Home Makeover" equivalent series covered the reconstruction. As the village baker said "Somewhere out there are four commercial ovens on their way to America".
we're a little bit concerned about a rise in mean sea-level, as we're only about 12' above the current level (our house floor). If it rises 8', we've got waterfront property, but 15' and we're goners.

Frank, The floods you mentioned in Boscastle were well documented in a series called `A country parish`(could have been `a seaside parish` - now that I think about it). It ran for several weeks and was based around the female vicar (The Rev Christine Musser). As you say, those floods were awful - to say the least.
Sandy, In the scale of things, the flooding of London was not exaggerated at all. When the peaks of the Himalayas were once under water (as proved by all the sea shells embedded in them), ANYTHING can (and will) happen. As you point out though - non of us will be around to see it.

A fox running across my back lawn and my sons dog who I am looking after for two weeks almost yanking my arm off when she saw the fox. Good job I had her on the leash or she would have been gone.
