Is this one of those phishing html emails? I suspect it is as Ebay
does not know my throwaway hotmail. I have changed it here too for
obvious reasons.
I disconnected from on line and copied the body to a word doc and then
got it down to the following as per below.
This throwaway mail gets a lot of these tracking and offer Dept.
things. What the heck are they but spam. Any one know for sure?

This is the slime ball page somehow connected to the email. Maybe just
advertizing so called, but spam garbage to me.

No I did not respond to the ****. I copied the damn html to a word
doc. While disconnected so as not to allow the bastards to get my info
I copied some of the headers and found just what it was about.
I would never respond to the shits.

Of course, if a phish suggests that you post all your financial
information to http://imacrook.freeservers.za/verify.php it might have
some interesting consequences were you to use Perl or a web page to
post several megs of random junk to
http://imacrook.freeservers.za/verify.php.

You can't usually tell but the page might send mail to some freemail
drop box. You might even make the drop box useless for the purpose for
which it was intended. (although what with gmail, freemail quota sizes
are getting much larger)

It is really funny as they want you to click on their special whatever
it is so they can see that your addy is for real. It is only a
throwaway one and they couldn't get to me anyhow but they say they
want to give a 500 dollar gift certificate out to whatever fool
clicks on their mail form. I mean, it is so stupid. They are the pits.

I care because I think the crap should be stopped period.
I an not one to fall for such garbage, just the opposite. I would like
to see the spammers go to aohell. or something like that.
And the use of gif files on these emails is crazy. Anything but a
right click will give the bastards a go ahead to send more stuff.
I will just quit that throw away hotmail and get another but first I
want to give some garbage to the garbage assholes.
As to my main email it gets zero unwanted mail. Never a problem.
