This is part of what an email file looks like. Also, the final content of the message, itself, is explanatory. Let's see if this posts:

Here's what I do Bob.

I save the Spam senders email address, and then I use it to reply to whatever sort of porn purveyor happens to end up in my mail box next. Substitute your real email address with the folks who sent you the "Regrow Your Hair Instantly" email.

With any luck, you'll get the bastards spamming themselves. At any rate, it's a pretty cheap chuckle.

I have also sent a few of these folks the most up to date version of Back Orifice as well as a couple of other nasty viruses I've managed to capture.

One finds fun where one can these days.....

Regards,

L
