On the Internet, anybody can fake e-mail messages. In fact, the only thing
reasonable certain about the message above is the following:
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
Received: from tick.javien.com ([209.115.238.117])
by color.sics.se (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id BAA21163
for <kpj@sics.se>; Fri, 18 May 2001 01:15:28 +0200 (MET DST)
env-to (<kpj@sics.se>)
env-from (owner-extropians@extropy.org)
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
which means a host [209.115.238.117] contacted the local mail server, said
the message came from <owner-extropians@extropy.org> for <kpj@sics.se>.
Anybody can trivially easy fake the rest of the message.
But the message _appears_ to contain a message for the Extropians Mailing
List from some entity calling itself ``Lee Corbin <lcorbin@ricochet.net>''.
So when I quote, I as much, since I know that and nothing more for certain.
|>|Where else in our culture did someone say
As you can see, you state that I <kpj@sics.se> wrote the above.
It added the ``<a href=....>'' and ``</a>'' which I did not write,
Could you try to send text in plain text instead of only HTML?

But I dod not. Your Eudora (e-mail client) did that.
in effect making part of the text into an URL, a dubious practice.
This practice allows for e.g. tracing anybody on the mailing list
who reads that e-mail with a Windows or Macintosh e-mail reader
online. By adding a <IMG SRC="...."> tag, many mail readers look
up the image which can be logged by the site. Caveat lector.
