RE: [cobalt-users] email spam, virus?

[Bill Gunning <bgunning@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We got the same thing. To prevent it from happening in the future,
we placed photos of our email address on our website and removed
all links to our email address. Now someone will need to use
their eyes to see our email and manually run their email program
and type in our email address... A pain but we do-not get anymore
emails like the one below...
