I know, it was a good answer and the right answer IMHO.

Not a reply, what reply? I sent you a mail and copied the others....

I sent a mail to you with an amusing picture attached. Is that what you mean? It
is not often I send you a mail :-) we are not exactly bosom buddies but at least
both know that we have a responsibility to users. The picture is a joke that
describes a syndrome that all of us might agree on something, that is, that the
ringtone thingy is annoying and that if we agreed on that (in that it was common
ground) then the rude mail from this "karime" person would also be common
ground, and that we would agree it was also unacceptable.

You don't like that annoying ringtone thing do you? :-o

It's on the television here every 10 seconds. (fumes)

There is only so much you can take. If you were not amused sorry, but that is
the only thing meant by it. I though about posting it in the CTF you know.

We have being trying out target practise on the little pest there. :-)

>Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for trouble.

Trouble? You? Perish the thought :-)

>In case you want to investigate that mail to get the sender who (possibly) >falsificated the headers please let me know.

There is nothing to investigate with regard the mail that I sent to you,
Michael, Uri, Guenther, Olivier and Fabien entitled "It is at times like these".

Except maybe one thing...... :-)

Maybe you would all like to see what I think of the ringtone craze that is going
about right know in Europe (and maybe North America, I don't know)......

I was sent this by a good friend of mine here in Glasgow......it is very funny
(to me anyway and I hope for you also)

Get your sense of humour ready.......(this should really be in the CTF by the
way, but here goes) :-)))

I laughed, and so should you......go on......you can do it.

Ask Jack Lad what the joke is in the UK if you don't understand it yet.

For Cesar Conteras
==================

I only got one mail from this "karime" person.

I was in the To: line and in the CC: line were Michael (Hotmail), You, Uri,
Guenther, Olivier, Dann, Fabien.......

......and the strangest part of all, the sender themselves......

karimejaime_80@hotmail.com.

Why this person would send the mail back to themselves is beyond me.

The "karime" mail about the clone needs investigation, but that is really up to
you. You have all info at your disposal now as Dann has sent it to you.

I still think it is possible to trace the sender as the provider must know who
was looking at that Hotmail page at that exact time even if they have a communal
IP.

=================

Volker, you are funny sometimes, but I like you. ;-)
