Let me say that I have no doubt that the email referred to by Roberto
Gaetano is indeed a forgery.  Apart from the tracking details, it's
interesting for several reasons.  Some of these are:

(1)    The true Roberto Gaetano shows the From address as "Roberto Gaetano"
but the forgery shows it as roberto.gaetano@voila.fr.

(2)    The forgery is addressed to Mark Measday with a copy to GA.  One
wonders why the forger wouldn't just send it to GA.  [That's a puzzle don't
you think, Mark?]

(3)    In my copy there is a character in the word between "numbers" and
"work".  This is in the shape of a square.  If I represent this character by
an asterisk, the faulty word is "doe*n't".  Is this a transmission error or
what?

(4)    The spelling has several mistakes.  I'm not sure about "Ester".  The
mistakes are as follows:

(a)    "your that girl" should be "you're that girl"
(b)    "little perl" should be "little pearl"
(c)    "doe*n't" should be "don't" (rather than "doesn't")

As only a few subscribers to the list make these sort of spelling mistakes,
this might narrow down the field somewhat.
