This is a message from the University of Strathclyde email system.
Please read this message in its entirety before responding.

AOL USERS PLEASE NOTE: if you are receiving this via AOL because you have
set up a forwarding for your Strathclyde email, then please do not use the
"Report Spam" feature.  It does no good for messages forwarded from
Strathclyde, and may cause all email from Strathclyde to AOL to be rejected,
including mail forwarded for you.

The system believes that a message sent to you:

        From: m.mirsadeghi at tue.nl
     Subject:  A difference in the results
  Message-Id: 1IXzpq-000E3j-3H

is Unsolicited Bulk Email (typically known as "spam"), based on the fact that
a total score calculated from various characteristics of the message is
greater than a threshold value.

The original message that triggered this response has been attached to this
message.  (If you are using Eudora and cannot view it, then please upgrade.)

Unless you are sure that this message is incorrectly thought to be spam,
you are advised to delete this message without opening the attachments.
Opening spam messages may allow the spammer to verify your email address
resulting in more spam being sent to you.

Occasionally, a legitimate message may be marked as spam.  If you are
getting similar messages (for example, from a mailing list) repeatedly marked
as spam, and this is an example of one of them, you may forward THIS ENTIRE
MESSAGE to us as detailed below.  If it appears to be a one-off occurrence,
then please don't forward it.  Messages can be wrongly marked for all sorts of
reasons largely outwith our control.

When forwarding messages for us to investigate, you MUST include the full
Internet headers of THIS warning message.  We cannot fully investigate
without them, and will generally ignore submissions that do not include
this information.  Reports without the full Internet headers will
generally be ignored.  You may need to consult the documentation for your
email client to find out how to include the full Internet headers; this
web page may be of some help: http://oit.nd.edu/email/fullheaders.shtml

Any messages you wish us to investigate should be forwarded to
email-security at strath.ac.uk (note, NOT security at strath.ac.uk - that is the
incorrect address).  THIS whole message, including attachments and full
Internet headers, must be forwarded.  Please include information explaining
why you think this should not be classed as spam.

Mailing lists, often operated on behalf of commercial companies, appear to be
the most common source of 'false positive' (incorrect match as spam).  We may
be able to make modifications to the system so that particular classes of
message do not get marked in this way.

You may direct any queries or comments to <email-security at strath.ac.uk>.
