Please do not cast aspersions on my sanity. Leave that to me. <G>

I deal with people whose computer competence is remarkably low. I need 
to accept e-mail with such typographic errors, hence need a catchall 
address. Interestingly, for each spam showing up there, I get two in 
each of the two active addresses in my domain, both of which are in 
mailtos at my WWW site.

Yes, I know that harvesting is common, but, again, I'm trying to support 
people who believe any attachment apparently from Microsoft has to be okay.
