This is about junk Email.

I received two of these today where there is no address in the 
To: field. Check out the header:

------end header---------------------------------
The rest of the message asks if I'm concerned about heart disease
or artery blockage?!

I guess this is better than the one about the Swedish girls....
oh! you wanted that one? Sorry, already deleted;-)

Anyway, how does the mail get to the mailbox without a To:
destination?

And here's the part I really detest: 'Message-Id:
<199708110554.BAA23773@example.com>
-X: at http://www.thehitman.com/ Responsible Bulk emailing is
here!'

Grrrrrrrr.....
