I think you misunderstand what I'm saying.. the user that I'm talking
about is "djjackson at dpi.wa.gov.au" and it's his machine/account that
has initiated the e-mail out to everyone on his contacts list.
You received at least one (or if you're extra lucky like me, two)
e-mails from him asking you to update your contact details in his
address book.
The links will go back to the plaxo web page because part of the
service is to keep a copy of his address book on their servers. (part
of what I don't like about plaxo)
