Hi:

This is Brian Webb, editor of "Astronomy/Space Alert for Southern
California" (also known as Launch Alert).

The software that distributes this newsletter was recently upgraded. I'm
sending this test message to verify that the server and new software are
working correctly.

			   Important Changes
				  
I know that you're more interested in missile launches than
administrative issues, but here are some important changes that I'd
like for you to note:

1. Brian Webb E-Mail Address:

you are removed from the list but want to continue receiving launch
alerts, you'll need to resubscribe.

			     Launch Photo
				  
Last month I was at Vandenberg AFB for the IFT-7 missile defense test.
I took an interesting time exposure of the night launch of the
Minuteman II target vehicle from northwest Vandenberg. The photo is
posted at:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
		       Newsletter or Newsgroup?
				  
I recently asked if you would like to convert this newsletter into a
a newsgroup, which would allow you to post messages for others to
read. After receiving your feedback, and giving the matter further
thought, I have decided to keep things as-is (in other words, no
newsgroup).

However, I you have information that you would like to share with
other readers, please forward it to me at kd6nrp@earthlink.net for
consideration.

		  Southern California Space Newsgroup

to a newsgroup, Ben Muniz reminded me about his newsgroup, Southern
California Space. If you're interested in joining a newsgroup devoted
to southern California space news, go to

Subject: [Launch Alert] !!!Urgent: Possible Virus from Launch Alert
Message-ID: <200201152213_MC3-EE2B-98CB@compuserve.com>

This is Brian Webb, editor of "Astronomy/Space Alert for Southern
California" (also known as Launch Alert). Today I received an e-mail
infected with a virus from Lisa Schriber titled "To provide a link to
another".

I'm not sure if this e-mail was only sent to me or was sent to the
subscribers of my newsletter. If you received the above e-mail, do not open
it. It may be wise to use your anti-virus software to scan your computer
for viruses. If you don't have up to date anti-virus software, go to
http://www.symantec.com and have Symantec perform a free scan of your PC
for viruses via the Internet (a very neat service).

Just for the record, there's only one person who can post messages to the
Launch Alert mailing list, and that's me. Also, I never send out my
newsletter with attachments.

If you didn't receive such an e-mail, be on the lookout from a message
titled "To provide a link to another".

Sorry to alarm you, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Regards,

Brian
