Hi everyone

I hope none of you were fooled by a message earlier this morning 
pretending to be from the Red Cross.  It was a poorly-constructed hoax, 
but just in case you were wondering, the Red Cross hasn't been 
soliciting donations by spamming mailing lists like Birding-Aus.  I 
think the spelling of "Worldwild" may have raised a few suspicions 
though!

Please be particularly alert for this sort of sick attempt to rob you 
or obtain credit card details.  There is nothing I can do to block all 
messages of this type, even though most of them fail to get through.

Cheers

Russell
