    I think it's spam because of the Mailer : Power E-Mailer www.magic-soft.net

    But I can't see the angle. Nothing hidden in the html, nothing to sell...

    Opinions/Ideas anyone, or am I just upset that I've nothing in for Sunday lunch?

    Babelfish translates this as 'I had Patrick'

    I noticed that too. So I translated a few more texts with " j'ai eu .. ". Came up as "I was" or "I had".. My french is a bit rusty ;-)

    No idea what the intent of the French statement may be. But, it is likely a recon SPAM if it isn't an accidentally misdirected email.

    just my tuppence.
