I'm too fried -- I actually have a lot of these in my spam.  It's just that
*this* one is the only false negative remaining from that set -- it got
supernatural benefit out of putting "Tim" in the subject header, and from
misspelling proposal (someone on c.l.py made a propsal once too <wink>).
Under Robinson's combining scheme, it scores between 40 and 50 even so.

in the quoted headers was telling the truth, although one of the lines got
folded by mailer when I quoted the message (so you saw 10 lines in the body;
"tomorrow" belonged on the preceding line).

However, it *is* a worm, and a very smart one:  it's somehow managed to copy
itself all over this list of people who should know better <wink>.
