<br><br>After all this time, I am *still* getting scam letters,<br>the ones that go something like: Greetings sir or madam,<br>I have heard from numerous sources that you are an honest<br>man or woman, so please give me your bank account number

<br>any email that starts with the word "greetings" so<br>this might be just the thing. They could even hide<br>a message in misspelled words, so that a copy-<br>paste into microsloth word would underline in red

Steganography<br>
