Hiya,
I dunno how powerful the script behind the mailing-list is, but usually
when you reply, the subject line sais "Re:" or an equivalent in one's
set language...
Regarding the email accounts, I cannot access any account (Let's just
get that out-of-the-way) I know how to spoof it, but i agree that this
person probably wouldn't appreciate that...
I have no idea what they want from us. My expirience is that some people
just like trolling...
and yes, I got off-list messages as well. (and one other person I know
of too)
furthermore it seems (judging from the subject line) that there's an
auto-respond option chosen, so that we get those emails no matter
what...
as for the nationality-stuffs:
it is indeed an interesting, but off-topic discussion :P
Greetings,
Cornelis
P.S.
I suspect that this person knows more English than we might suspect from
the messages we get...
