Pat and group, I, too, have received such messages, and I think I
received the one you are talking about.  When I received those messages,
I tried returning them to the address in the "From" space, but my message
came back "Host not located" or some such response.  I really would like
to be able respond directly to the mailer.  How do I do that? I've even
tried to respond to those saying "If you want to be removed from this
list ....." and even those message bounce back to me.
