*** THIS MESSAGE IS A FAKE *** THE TRUE SENDER IS ANDY SCHMIDT *** 
*** THIS IS MESSAGE WAS FAKED ONLY FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES **

Ken - this message is just a demonstration how easy it is to FAKE the "from" 
field of a message and I was even able to send this message right through your 
very own IBM VM/ESA mainframe.  This little hacking took only 45 seconds. If 
I spent more time on it, I could even get it "right". Hopefully this 
demonstrates that (depending on the mail server) it is NO rocket science to
fake 
a message. 

Feel free to send your apologies to Joel Markwell at your earliest convenience.

Ken
