there something in the tone of the language? I don't know German at
all.
Hello Don,
there there are only slight signs that IMHO make the message look
suspicious:
From name does not match signature name, mail from an unknown person,
sender knows little or nothing about recipient, a list of 5 commercial
notation programs but not TeX
And the message remembers me of a story from 1992/1993 that is well
known in the German computer scene:
Many young male home computer users received a letter with photo from a
girl who asked to exchange copies of home computer software.
Everybody who answered and agreed did not get software from this
non-existing girl but a cease and desist letter from a lawyer and
should pay the lawyer's fees.
Look at this

or search for "gravenreuth" and "tanja", but nearly all results will be
in German.
Bodo
