- unsolicited email

I have received some unsolicited email about a 'Gustav Mahler Board' website.

The website itself appears to be legitimate, but I consider the sending of the email to be at least a minor form of net abuse.

My email address seems to have been obtained from one of these NGs and demunged for a mailshot.

This is quite unacceptable.

I post using a cleanish version of my email address to allow other Usenetters to send truly *personal* email, which does *not* include anything that starts, 'Dear mahler fans, hello.' (Why the 'm'?)

The website was mentioned in a one-off posting to r.m.c in December, which, ISTM, was fair enough.

If the sender of the unsolicited email is reading this then he should ensure that I am NOT included in ANY further mailshot. I would regard any further email (except a brief and personal apology) as a more serious form of net abuse.

A copy of the email (with lightly munged headers) follows.

That's a whole nother question

Korean doesn't use 'ideographs' (a misnomer for Chinese logographs), but alphabetic letters combined into syllable-blocks.

Is it supposed to start 'Set'yu Fildj'? The sans serif font doesn't look like the ones I have avaialable, but you should find an M letter that looks like the S letter but has an additional horizontal stroke at the top right.

Maybe your informant was coming from a different dialect, but my chart says the letter transliterated <j> above is pronounced [dz], so you might not need the <d> before it.
