[~]$ If I recall this correctly when he did this before the file in the zip archive was itself a zip archive ("my project for intrvw.jpg" in this case) which contained some very shoddy code that did nothing much. In effect he is using the post and it's attachment as offline file storage. The file names "stuff_for_future_intw.jpg" and "my project for intrvw.jpg" is a bit of a giveaway here. Cant be bothered to grind the password this time :) Peter On 7 July 2012 02:29, Eric Christopherson wrote: > On Fri, Jul 6, 2012 at 6:15 PM, Intransition wrote: >> Is this spam? > > Yeah.
