This may be a good opportunity to remind everyone that if you have an OPLIN email account (like Janelle's), we *NEVER* ask you to put your password in an email. Never ever. If a message like the one Janelle quotes asks for your login information, it's guaranteed spam.
Just to be clear, OPLIN ~never~ asks you to put your password in an email.
Never ever.
