Congratulations! "My other" ISP (MSN) just started tagging suspected spam with "spam" in the subject line, and my mail reader moves that to a special spam folder upon delivery. So far this is the one and only incoming email it's moved. Many solicitations to help foreign nationals move large sums of money out of their country have gotten through [...]

I thought I was th only one getting all these silly Nigerian scam spams. I figured maybe they saw my name and decided to test on me (though they might more cleverly have figured that a fellow Nigerian would be wise to the game).

However, with the (sloppily) bogus headers I've always found on those things, I'm surprised your ISP couldn't sniff them out.

Not that it matters. The Eastern Nigerian proverb gets it right.
