1. The e-mails can't be tracked.
2. Ignore the message. This mail is a really, really old rip-off.
There's no child dying of cancer (well, at least, not the putative one
referred to in the e-mail) and no one's paying money to save her.
3. In general, ignore messages that:
- - Purport to be from Mrs Mariam Abacha or one of her clones that need
to transfer funds out of Korea/Nigeria/Iraq/Afghanistan/etc.
- - Tell you that you have won the lotto.
- - Ask you to confirm your online banking details.
- - Offer Winduhs software or Viagra clones at low rates.
- - Offer millions of e-mail addresses for marketing.
- - Contain ``Microsoft patches''.
In a nutshell, ignore everything that isn't PGP-signed by me ;-)
