Yesterday subscribers to the Fiver, an e-mail bulletin service from the Guardian's football website, received a stray e-mail. This was caused by a technical problem with our mailing-list. The message, sent by a reader seeking to cancel his subscription, ended with the words: "Just fuck off". This would normally have been seen by just a few people, but regrettably it was automatically sent to all subscribers. The problem has now been solved and it will not occur again. - Guardian (David Browning)
