This is the message:

I do not know where we are as far as posts and things. Unfortunately i managed to do a very clever thing and loose all my e-mail stuf. Have we corresponded and if so have I arranged to send anything to you. Photos or maps of the area etc., I have managed to procure some of the electoral rolls for QB which are as will appreciate are a wealth of knowledge.

Please let me know and I will try to answer any questions if at all possible.

Regards
Al

I think this is a spammer or something, don't think it came from here as when I logged on to check, there was not no notification on here of this message and normally there is a notification on here. Don't know what is going on but will delete it.

Just thought I would share it to let you all know it may be a scam being set up.

A bit of a worry, thanks for the notice.

You said once that you would appreciate some information from Alwar45 about Quinns Sq Buidings. Presumably he's simply following it up after his recent email problems.

If someone uses the email option, rather than PM, then you receive a message which is delivered via the Parish Chest/B-G server.
Yes, it looks different to a PM or your normal emails - but this is due to it coming via here rather than direct.

Thanks Pam, its just when I saw the email address I did not recognise it "Forefathers@btconnect" thanks anyway, sorry to worry everyone, but better safe than sorry.
