[Bonetools] strange mails

[Alice Choyke]

Dear Melanie,
     Well, I checked the inner mailing list and I have even gotten
invitations from myself. The list is certainly one source but my father and
oldest non-academic friend in the States has also been a multiple
recipient. I have pestered the IT people about this but until the long four
day holiday is over in Hungary nothing will change - even if it is possible
to change. I did run a full one day scan on my home computer and the IT
people at school ran a check on my e-mail account there and both came up
clean. Perhaps I need to change my CEU address and decommission the old
one? One thing for sure - it is a huge waste of time for me and very
annoying for all of you having to delete this dangerous nonsense.

Best,
Alice
