"We always send the message itself as an attachment. The message that you see at first shows the postmark, and warns you not to open the attachment if you are not the intended recipient. Just as with normal mail, it is a federal crime to double click on the attachment to view the contents of the message if the message is not for you." [...snip...] As stated above, here is the message in its entirety, exactly as it arrived in my mailbox. Below that is the base64 decoded for your convenience.
(Official USPS warning:)
[...]If you are not the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that any viewing, dissemination, distribution, or copying of this message is prohibited.
Only littlitt@mit.edu may view the enclosed message. [...unauthorized federally-protected not-for-your-eyes message deleted...]
Aaaugghh! I accidentally viewed the message! Now I'm a federal criminal! (A veritable Public Enemy, I guess, given my additional crime of wearing my RSA "munitions" shirt in full view of people who may well be dangerous foreign nationals.)
If I go down for this, I'm taking you with me, Jonathan.
