I don't know, maybe it's just that I'm cynical/suspicious (or that
I've been online a long time :-), but anytime I see a message from
someone I don't know with a Subject: line like "Check this out" or
"Look at this" or "Here's the info you requested" or "In response to
your note" (etc.), it's like a red flag going up that something is not
as it appears.
