Normally I'd not send this to the group, but I think it has some potential
and it came to the address I normally just use here.
I just received two returned mails apparently form a bogus address (DX ham
call). The subject contained a variation of our old friend's address that
was bouncing. In this case it was: Re: [Tower Talk] Re: Returned mail: User
unknown geo88@cs.com However the start of the chain was from 1999.
The message was blank, but had an atachment. I never open atachments
directly unless I'm expecting them, so I saved the message, then opened it
in a text reader. That is a 23K message in text form which is quite a few
pages. The original date on top is 1999 (I wasn't on TT in 1999). At any
rate after many pages of headers from around the world (it appeared to hop
from address to address) it turned into an HTML message with what are
apparently hot links (you don't have to cllick on them) to many different
sites around the world where it gets "something".
I still haven't figured the thing out as I got tired of wading through the
HTML and a lot appears to be in German, or Dutch.
It may be benign but I'd never open it in an HTML capable reader.
I wonder if any one else received one of these and dechiphered it?
You can reply off list.
Thanks and 73
