What's your email system

MSE_Martin

Just a quick check. Are you getting the money tips email (the two in the last week for example) - if you are please can you note what your email system is

ie hotmail, yahoo, aol

etc - just so i can see who it is going through to

that'd be helpful

Martin the backticks (other-way-quotes) in the subject line are triggering spamassassin mate. (Spamassassin is probably the most used and abused open source spam detection software)
