I've been getting 2 or 3 messages a day from various people (no one
on the list, yet, at least not that I can tell) that contain about
150K of base64-encoded something or other. They claim to contain
various image or sound formats. It's past tiresome, but only an
annoyance in terms of bandwidth. I'd be considerably more upset if I
was still using dial-up access...
