Well, such things are "possible" ... but there is a simpler hypothesis that must be considered: There is one person on this list who is quite capable of sending non-MS-funded non-forged hate mail. When this is sent off-list, it does not show up in the archives. > I suspect several of you guys here > has been subject to such forgeries. Forgeries? No. Definitely not in this context. Hate mail? Yes. ================================== Tangential remarks: 1) I've seen plenty of phishing scams with forged headers, but that's not what we're talking about here. 2) Constructive suggestion: If you are really worried about forgeries, you should pgp-sign your messages. -- As the Joss W. put it: It is better to light a candle than to curse the damn darkness. -- pgp signatures are vastly more effective than telling somebody to "check the mail headers". -- Indeed there are many development lists that will not accept patches unless they are signed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
