Stop

People are still "caught" out by this, thankfully nothing like this hits my inbox, I see it arrive, hit the filters and then be deleted off the mail server..

besides the "Name" of who it's from should give it away as should the e-mail address unless it's addressed to <insert pet name here> from <insert partners pet name here>.... even then check the headers.

Of course, no Linux zealot would fall for this. I mean, what are the odds? I would apologise for being trite, but they never do ...
