What was the thread on the email with no headers? I looked in the archives but could not find anything. The response was that the sender must have sent the mail directly from the user's mail server... Anyone remember? I ask because I just got sent one myself, with the following file attached: MEPOJPME.EXE with no name and no headers other than this: Received: from oemcomputer (uu212-190-4-90.unknown.uunet.be [212.190.4.90]) by hermod.hammerofgod.com with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 5.5.2650.21) id C3C6PG0J; Fri, 19 Jan 2001 13:55:40 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="--VEA381QJOHYZWDE7" Of course my mail system blocked it, but it still pisses me off. This was sent directly to me, and the bad part is that they got the email address from one the SF lists that I participate in. Nowhere else have I ever used this email address. Thanks!
