Got a fairly standard (but targetted rather specfically) email account phishing message this morning. But this caught my eye: ------- Forwarded message follows ------- [...] This message was sent automatically by a program on Webmail which periodically checks the size of inboxes, where new messages are received. The program is run weekly to ensure no one's inbox grows too large. [...] You will continue to receive this warning message periodically, If your inbox size grows to 20 MB, then a program on Bates Webmail will move your oldest email to a folder in your home directory to ensure that you will continue to be able to receive in coming email. [...] ------- End of forwarded message ------- Yeah, it would be Bates Webmail. Stay out of the email shower ... (How do you represent screeching violins in plain text email?
