Notice the original message has telecom23.354.10@telecom-digest.org
in the To header, so perhaps someone at your end could check to see
who would have gotten the original message.
Also enclosed in the mailing you are reading are my remarks to the
Secret Service. The usual case in "419" mail:
1. it's OK to see how I would respond to this (because there are no
contents other than "frank" here, all that's possible here is an
email to the address in the From header)
2. NO response by me to this (not even to correct grammar or to ask
that I be removed from the sender's list)(and it's understood
that we don't touch whatever list the following was sent to)

Sorry, but this is all I got. I do receive the Telecom digest,
thus apparently explaining the To header. The other system names
look familiar because they appear in other mail I have forwarded
to you in the "419" category.

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Well Carl we know that the apparent
'email address' of 'telecom23.354.10@telecom-digest.org' is in fact
not an email address at all, but a Usenet message ID/serial number,
and volume 23, issue 354, message 10 was from July 23 a year ago.
It was dealing with 'blogs and bloggers and blogging' and had
absolutely nothing to do with the spam _you_ got in email from
'Frank'. Since true email addresses and Usenet newsgroup serial or
identification numbers are constucted exactly the same way and
easily mistaken, one for the other by an inexperienced spammer, so
all we really know is that the Mighty Frank from somewher in South
Africa probably bought a useless mailing list from someone. If anyone
else wishes to parse through the remainder of the header and make
something else of it, be my guest, and I imagine I speak for Carl
as well. Does anyone actually give a rat's behind about what happens
any longer on Usenet? PAT]
