I receive mail from this list in digest form and did not experience such
problem with mail from the list. However the same thing happened to me
several times caused by spam. Every time I have to phone in to my ISP and
ask them to delete the message as they do not allow me to telnet and do it
that way.
I would also like to know how this can be solved.

"Love is patient,love is kind. It does not envy, it
does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is
not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps
no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but
rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always
trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
I Corinthians 13:4-7
