Or perhaps it's a long-game being played where someone gets you used
to thinking he's a good guy only to send something in a few months
that really hurts someone.

I've simply sent the email address to my trash bin.

Yeah, the only reason I even bother to ask instead of just trashing them all is 
that it's doing a decent job of seeming like a clueless noob who barely knows 
English trying to start a discussion.  So if that's the case then they should 
take this one chance to say so clearly and distinctly.

But it's probably just a phishing program by someone who thinks they understand 
computers.

Is there a virus scanner checking the list attachments for blatant things at 
least?

Given that anybody with half a clue knows NEVER to open unsolicited 
attachments, I'm verging on thinking it's phishing. Anyways, I'm THAT close to 
setting up an auto-delete rule on anything from him. The email address feels 
spammy, too ...

If it's the latter, then would the sender please give us some context about 
what you're hoping to get for a reply?  None of these things are particularly

Hello Gentoo Users Developers!

I would like to share, contribute my Encryption / Decryption algorithm.

It uses + -, and bitwise xor to encrypt data.

See the attached files.

The last is the CryptEaseSuper-MAX the use 8 x ( 8 x 2) 2 ^ 64 bit integer to 
encrypt / decrypt information.
