I don't want to be beating a dead horse here since Moritz has already
stated that it would have been better to digitally sign his message and
subsequently did so. But I will point out that malicious links in
unsolicited email is one of the ways computers get infected. So the
risk is quite a bit greater than harvesting email addresses. I think
whoever it was that suggested signing such emails was quite right.
@Moritz,
Since the site was in German, I wouldn't have had any idea what I was
doing. And perhaps a vote from the United States wouldn't help anyway.
But good luck with this funding attempt.
I also got a chuckle out of your tagging your own email as spam. I
believe we have found the honest man Diogenes was looking for! ;-)
Regards,
Jim
