I have some too. It's obviously some sort of spam bug. As it asks the recipient to answer to be removed it tries to become a snowball. So, do not answer at all and just delete them and it will go away.

Just deleted 38 of them this morning. Recieved the during the span of about 3:00 pm yeterday until now. One person even accusing me of being the problem. Believe, me I only have 8 names in my address book and only 3 are steelers.

I think Marco has it diagnosed correctly. If Terry deletes his 'subscription' group (not the individuals) it should stop fairly soon.

Maybe b0b has an answer.I got at least 15 of these things. Looks like a worm virus attaching itself to e mail address books. My Symantec virus/Pro. does not indicate anything. You may want to clean internet files/cookies etc. and see if it helps.

Do like J.D. Sauser says, just hit delete, don't click on the remove as the email suggests, that just exacerbates the problem.
