    Just received the following email about this competition:
    Hello

    I am writing to you from the Film website of guardian.co.uk. You recently
    entered a competition to win a trip to Paris. I'm afraid that you should
    not have been able to enter the competition - it hadn't launched and was a
    demonstration page for our prospective partner for the competition.
    Unfortunately, our partner has since decided not to proceed with the
    competition, and so we are not now in a position to run it. Thank you for
    your interest in guardian.co.uk and I do apologise for any inconvenience
    and/or disappointment caused.

    Best wishes
    Chai Hong Lim

    Yes, it's very poor form to do that. Anyone who received the e-mail could now spam everyone else who got it. You should always use a BCC when sending to multiple people.

    Since it's probably only MSE'ers who entered, we're probably safe.
