Hi.

There were several "bots" on the RH list, harvesting e-mail addresses 
from senders to the list, and then sending rather inappropriate pictures 
to those senders on the list from a huge inventory of e-mail addresses.  
I believe that RH made the change at that time in order to stop this 
behavior.  I know because I received those messages for quite some time!
