I have seen that exact same From: field used by you scores of
times (among the other 150 variations you use).

The contents of the "From:" header is useless in determining source
since its contents are under total control of the poster. A little
more reliable is the contents of the "Path:" header. The poster has,
at best, only partial control of that (called path pre-loading; which
most Usenet providers forbid as part of their terms of service - and
even when allowed, the poster can only append something to the
right-hand side.)


As long as nobody knows what Operating system I use; I'm safe.
User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.22 (Macintosh/20090605) - so I'd be
thinking Darwin.
