I assume you meant "news message headers" and "news post" above.


No, I don't mean usenet or news messages. I said e-mail, and I meant
e-mail, as in SMTP. Spam is usually associated with e-mail.

IOW, the version of MSOE.DLL you see in the headers doesn't mean
the message was constructed in any "forged" manner;


Yes it does, if we are talking about e-mail SPAM, which I am.



How do you know it was 'forged'? How do you know that the email was *not*
created by the application in question?
