Does this mean that FMP are passing/selling on my email address?

It certainly looks like it, but not according to their own privacy regulations.

Thanks for the link

They state your details are not shared. Think I can feel an email to FMP fast approaching

I can't even find The Yorkshire Herald and Advertiser amongst the FMP newspapers (closest I can find is the York Herald).

If you want to say which article it was I'll have a look and see if I get a similar email.

It might have just been the Herald I found the article in

I can't remember what I searched for but you will have it in 'my threads' as when I found it, I saw you had already posted it so didn't bother to repeat the info

Check if you received an email from the paper, maybe junk box?

Added: It was an article from the 1930s

Ahh - was it one relating to a truck from the "Yorkshire Post and Leeds Intelligencer"?

If so, I haven't had any emails - checked junk and nothing there.

That's the one MC

Don't know why I received an email, maybe just coincidence
