Thanks for the immediate reply and work done regarding this bad mail.
 
Roberta,
How did you really know it's a porn video, though it would say something "Porn" 
in the message it might be a link to stock website or online drugstore, must 
have 'accidentally clicked' the mouse? :)  We have been receiving lots of spam 
and junk email these day with valid subject line such as Symantec updates, 
Microsoft hotfix and other O/S patches/updates and when you open the link or 
attachment they are stock quotes or prescription medicine listings.
 
regards,
Librado

Keep up the good work! This list has been extremely valuable for us 
at LLNL. I have been a member for years!! This list gave me answers 
that took Legato weeks or even never to solve!! I posted the "BAD 
MAIL" for your information, not in anger ... (No, I never clicked on 
any of the links!!!! :) )
