[removed link]
Don't ask people to click on an unknown URL without *at least* explaining that it supposedly illustrates, and even then be prepared for people to ignore it.
I assumed it was spam (and it is). See the last line in the footer of every email.
I would have had to click on the URL to know that it was spam. Unlike most spam we see here (and which I have reported a number of times using the approved procedure) the Subject line appeared to be list- related.
That's how the spam usually works. They pick an old topic and reply to it to make it look like a valid message.
Since you replied to it, I clicked on the link to find out what it was. Normally, I just ignore emails that appear to be spam like that.
