from your post # 68:
"What I was interested in wasn't the names, but the path the mail has travelled, which is in the headers. That can say something about wether it is authentic, or something that some pimply kid has spammed the net with from his room."

from your post # 82:
"It is a fact that the authenticity of a piece of text floating around on the internet cannot be verified by looking at email headers."

You sure have me confused!

At first Mr. Lied implied that this was something personal that he had received. It gradually became clear that this thing is widespread over the net, so that there is not, in all probability, one sender but rather lots of people sending this back and forth. So the headers are no longer of interest. As I said, other ways must then be used :).
