Hi Dani￫l,
    I'm curious how the URL (that Rob originally shared) got "changed" in your email to the list.   It seems to
redirect to the correct url, but I guess I'm confused why my browser hopped through app.getsignals.com rather than
going directly to nakedsecurity.sophos.com. (and the apparent attempted obfuscation of this fact in the HTML version
of the message also seems odd)

         eagerly awaiting an explanation,
            thanks so very much in advance,
               ~c
