There is actually nothing at all that I can do about this at present. The best thing to do with chain letters and similar junk mail is to ignore them completely: if you reply to the person sending the chain letter, they'll just add you to their list of e-mail addresses to which to send unwanted advertising. The only thing that could be done is for me to "moderate" the group: i.e. messages sent to the rust-mil group would be sent to me first of all, then, when I've checked that their contents are appropriate and not offensive, I would forward them to the group as a whole. However, I've checked the archives of the last few months' mails (*) and in fact there haven't been that many junk mails. I'd therefore prefer not to moderate the rust-mil group, but if a substantial number of you want me to do so, I'll reconsider it. (*) If you want to check the archives for yourself, the address is http://www.bio.net/hypermail/RUST-MILDEW/ Also, while I'm here, information about subscribing to Rust-Mil is on the internet at: http://www.uea.ac.uk/nrp/jic/c817rmil.htm. Please pass that address on to your colleagues who want to join so that they don't send "subscribe" messages to the whole group!
