Dear Gary,
It's now gone.

Mike Logsdon also suggested that, which I do quite often with attachments, but seem to forget about it with suspect email addresses.
The result gave me 'baharco managua htlm'.
Not the full address, as I don't want it spread about.

> If you don't have an account with YouTube or, as you say, never uploaded anything to them, it sounds like you can delete the message without worry.

I don't - so I did.

I regularly ignore badly worded emails from banks and service companies I never deal with.
Even emails from my own bank, which I know never emails its customers.
Plus frequent notification regarding winning lotteries and offers to transfer some ill-gotten $millions into my bank account.
But that YouTube one was a very genuine-looking new one. 
Therefore, this thread will provide a warning to other DJMLers.
Thank you. 
Very kind regards,
Bill.
