Had to forward because the list bounced it as having an attachment (html 
iframe which I now removed from message)

Subject: Beware FAKE e-mails being sent as though from list
Date: Monday 30 Dec 2002 3:01 pm
From: Alan Chandler <alan@chandlerfamily.org.uk>
To: debian-user@lists.debian.org

I just received an e-mail that looked as though it at come from this list,
(from "nate" ) but in closer inspection it had done nothing of the sort
having been forwarded through a mail server at free.fr from a dial up account
at proxad.net

It seems to have a screensave file dressed up to look like a standard text
file.

Here is the start of it (inc headers)
