This       is why.              In my country, the administration sends paper letters, not emails.              And then, one should check the domains of all emails and links. Windows       software probably hides them.                     --       Cheers, Carlos.       ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
