@139.com is what China Mobile uses. And that seems to be the same kind that I once received from other mail addresses sent to other lists (the host name in 'From:' or 'Sender:' mail header of the spams is owned by Tencent company). These seem to be auto-reply mails configured by some careless users. AFAIK, nobody has ever successfully contracted with the senders. > One message had a date line of > > Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2012 23:09:18 +0800 (CST) > > the body was only HTML, the subject line and body were mostly > Chinese except for my name and this snippet in ASCII: Would you like to post the Chinese text if you want to know more? > [email protected] Re: vim: who/where/when set my ft?
