The only reason I saw this is because Tkil sent me an email about a
mystery email from me, and I sent one back wondering what it was.
Looking at the source, it was obvious, but the main window display of
this was blank, so it didn't look like much till the source is viewed
(aside from long downloads). There's one: If you have a long download
for what looks like ordinary email, chances are something big is riding
along.
