If it's from someone I don't know I'd still delete it. I will take my
Wikimedia info from the mailing list thank you. Besides, if it's about
viagra selling my spam filter kills it anyway.

one. The
scary thing is, I think this has happened before.
Lately spammers have started using current news headlines as the
subject lines in their emails as a way of getting people to open
them. I actually got a Viagra ad a few days ago with the subject
line, "Wikipedia founder plans search engine."
