they can not come through the list as pictures don't pass through the list
server. what has happened is someone who has email from the list in their
inbox or deleted folders got a virus that is skimming email addresses and
subjects from the mail that user has received and is sending mail back to you
so it looks like it came from the list.
this is a good case for NOT passing the originator's address through the list
server, this would require all replies to go through the list and would
prevent at least some of those infection induced problems.

GOOD LORD! I just opened my email and I got MORE raunchy pictures
from Clare and now from Jessica.
WTH IS GOING ON! This has got to stop. These emails are coming off
this list, they have the same subjects from Towertalk.
Last night I KNOW the n4jbk email from the mast slipping thread was
spewing porn back every time it got an email. Now ANOTHER!
If I get another that's the end of Towertalk. This is stuff you don't
want your wife and kids seeing FOR SURE
STEVE or anyone else who has keys to the list pse find out what is
going on here. I know the ve4 that was replying to the mast thread
last night was getting them also, so it's not me.
