Well I should have been more clear.. it is my own DOMAIN HOST... and it is interesting that ONLY my new address for HERE only... with my lynescreations.com e mail WITH TEXT ONLY checked got the lottery scam e mail. I immeadiatly changed my e mail address (easy to do on my own domain host) and ALSO went back to html e mail notices... they DO work even on my domain's web mail - the links are there and clickable...(have not gotten a newsletter yet)....

BUT... the spam stopped! That is why I asked if it had something to do with checking off "text only" for e mail notices from here... it has been 3 days with the new e mail and so far, so good. I will watch it and see... at least I CAN change my address "at will" to keep spam down.

I do find it interesting that NONE of my other web sites with my new domain e mail boxes have gotten spam at all- all were created on the same day...the ONLY difference was that I asked for "text only" here to start with.... so thought to see if the "powers that be" could check that aspect. (I know nothing about programming.)
