* This is the modus mailing list * But, this message came with a [Modus] etc... subject line...like it went through the list server, which would mean:
1. It did go through the list server, and was sent as "from [EMAIL PROTECTED]" and "to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ", not very random. or 2. It was a direct send with a faked "from [EMAIL PROTECTED]" send address and a specifically faked "[Modus] ..." subject line, again not very random.
