Mailwasher

I got this fake ecard too, Mailwasher has flagged it as a blacklisted origin by "RBL - SpamCop", if it hadn't I would've flagged it as spam/deletable myself like I do with all things like that.

The problem with making things too 'kid gloves' for users is they don't have the foggiest what to do when things go wrong, Windows Explorer is perhaps one of the most important tools on Win machines yet most people don't have a clue how to use it to manage (or even know where their files are), the same applies to email, software has made things easier for people but it's also made them learn less about identifying emails they should immediately delete, even ones that slip through anti-spam filters (if they or their ISP's mailserver has one).

Incedentally the email before that one has the subject "Increase your self confidence along with your penis." but I already have confidence in my penis thank you very much, it's the university diplomas and Russian bride that I'm still waiting on delivery, they're probably sitting in my local Royal Mail sorting depot (damn strike).
