Have you try Linux?

Windows. When it absolutely, positively, has to crash.

The original poster is an imposter and has no connection with me. Please
report schestowitz@wildmail.com for abuse/identity theft to the mail host,
which has thus far been unresponsive.

I'm quite aware that it's not you, actually. :-) One might
also try corresponding with postmaster [at] prontomail.com
or some such, as that's what the MX lookups are returning
for me when I throw wildmail.com at it.

Just to make things even weirder, www.wildmail.com resolves
to www.care2.com ; www.prontomail.com at least resolves
itself into its own login screen. I'm not sure what the
T&C of this emailer is; the FAQ is primarily technical
issues such as "how to delete an email" and "how many
emails can I have?".

And then there's the real possibility that he's simply
faking it all anyway; I'd have to trace the Path: headers,
which are easy to find as the message ID is very
conveniently included above.

On my system, these show up as

Path: free.teranews.com!sam.nntpserver.com!nntpserver.com!\
zeus.nntpserver.com!213.24.141.54.MISMATCH!newsfeed.gamma.ru!\
Gamma.RU!postnews.google.com!s48g2000cws.googlegroups.com!not-for-mail

which is a little peculiar as I was under the
impression that Google was an American company; why
is it going through Russia? 213.24.141.54 resolves to
newsfeed-rt.gamma.ru ; I'm not sure if the mismatch is
because of a temporary DNS failure or what in this case.

There is also this header (WTF is this??):

Injection-Info: s48g2000cws.googlegroups.com;
posting-host=212.166.64.6;
posting-account=vtCbEA0AAADw_p6z2h9q3v1LZiNVHAZS

and 212.166.64.6 points to netcache1-mad.tiscali.es .

I can't be entirely sure since I'm not all that versed in
things, but this could be Yet Another Open Proxy(tm).

It certainly looks...peculiar.
