[Groop] E-mail account disabling warning. VIRUS

[C Haxton]

Thanks for the added warnings, Scott

Yup, Virus writers are 'evolving', too.
Always regard such odd items with suspicion

- It *is* troubling to see the ease with which they 'sniffed' our emails
from the list []or did they get into the list servers...?]

- I hope there is a way to cut/garble all emails in the openly-available
archives; I was frankly wondering why we didn't get a lot more spam and this
kind of gunk through that open door....
