[Coco] Color LOGO

[Arthur Flexser]

I recently got a couple of alerts from Gmail attached to CoCo messages,
possibly on this topic, saying they were allowed into my Inbox only because
of my filter settings (allow any message with "[CoCo] in the subject
heading), and might not be from whom they appeared to be.  Wonder what
suddenly started setting off alarm bells?

(I think one of them might have been from Carlos...maybe a lot of spam comes
from Brazil??)
