{ugh. Top posting. I reformatted.}

It isn't the original poster that was the problem (even if it was a stupid
and pointless advisory). There is a remailer whose name ends in .fr (sorry,
I don't have any of those emails, and can't remember what it was) that is
causing the problem. In addition, it was cross-posted to bugtraq, so we are
guaranteed to see it at least twice. I so wish that folk wouldn't do this,
btw, since it's really hard on any list that was posted to in addition to
bugtraq. I've removed all the CCs in this, but any discussion that makes it
onto bugtraq is going to show up at least once more here, thanks to their
brain-dead mailer.

If you still have the original message, take a look at the headers of any
of the copies. It isn't from Lorenzo, it's from the remailer in France.
Which reminds me: I've seen this same stupidity on at least one other list
from the same remailer. Whoever you are, fix it or unsubscribe! In fact,
novappc@...appc.com seems to be the one commonality in these two lists...
Guess it IS back to Lorenzo. Yep, Lorenzo's domain, novappc.com does indeed
lead back to amen.fr, which is probably where that danged remailer starts
from... Heads up, Lorenzo, boy.
