At the NIH we were just pointed to this lovely little email business

I had never gotten email like this, but I could see how something like
this could be effective against more vulnerable people.
Why do spammers use caps all the time?! Seriously -- half the spam I get
(especially the Nigerian-style scams) uses all caps in the subject line.
Once again, I am pretty sure that the answer to this and a lot of other
email fraud is just to charge people for the net email they send.

Anyway, I've proposed this before, and everybody always hates the idea,
but there you go.
The thing I don't understand is how this would work for email distribution
lists, like those of MLUG -- who should pay?
