I can confirm that Kathy's having some issues with her system that 
appear to be related to hacking.  I got a phone message from her 
yesterday describing some of that.

But if her system was compromised, given the earlier email with the spam 
links, we can have no assurance at this time that her email account has 
not also been compromised.

The details in her most recent email here suggest that one was indeed 
from her, but given the potential for some nefarious outsider to be 
reading this list looking for tips on hacking LiveCode, I'll not explore 
this here and will instead just wait to hear back from her via phone today.

Hopefully we'll have this resolved soon.
