I don't know who that is (thought it was spam) but what is typed is odd isn't it? also...that is not my correct email address...I have a period (.) inbetween my name to look like "gonzalez.rey". I looked up the site quiknet.com and it didn't realy seem like a real site...i clicked on the links and it would send me to other sites...

On my settings I have thunderbird show the emails in plain not in html... and also wonder if its some type of complex email that informs the sender how my email program is set up...could be looking to far into this though... :)

You've got spam (and not the canned pork shoulder and ham). Delete it, like Franklin advised. If you respond to this stuff they will just know you have a valid email address (and while I'm on the subject, it's not a good idea to use your real e-mail address in a newsgroup posting or on a web page - like this one - unless you like getting 75-100 spams a day). Spammers crawl the Web and newsgroups for that.
