I see that Bossie_Boots was concerned because,

ebots since yesterday , are being treated as phising spam and each one
has an attachement whch is being blocked by my popup blocker

That is odd.  My ISP uses SPAMassassin ... this is the status from the eBot
message I got for your forum message ...

X-Spam-Status: No, score=-99.1 required=4.7 tests=HTML_MESSAGE=0.001,
SPF_PASS=-0.001,UNDISC_RECIPS=0.883,USER_IN_WHITELIST=-100 
autolearn=disabled version=3.1.7

Some points to consider ...

  1. The eBot messages are in MIME format and are coded as both plain
    text and HTML.  This is not an unusual combination.

  2. I would not expect this to be considered as an attachment. 

  3. Question for renderosity admins ... has the coding of the eBot messages
    recently changed so as to be sent as both plain text and HTML? 

  4. Question for Bossie_Boots, what is your SPAM blocker? ... Did you 
    install a new version recently?  If that function is done by your ISP, you
    should make a (dreaded) call to their tech support ... better still, make
    3 or 5 calls and average their responses. 

  5. Another question for Bossie_Boots, Can you extract the entire
    message headers (but without your eMail address) and paste them
    into this thread?  BTW, if you don't know how to extract the full headers,
    at least reply to say which eMail client (software) you use -- someone
    who knows how to do that will be able to explain.
