While you don't say anything explicitly incorrect, I think it is trickier t=
han that: the "From:" address is listed as freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; i=
s is the "Reply-To:" address that is support@mpcustomer.com.

I was also reluctant to report the message as spam since the bulk of it was=
 my own message! I don't want replies to my messages being hit by the spam =
filter. IMO, the message body is being used as unique "filler text" to get =
past Bayesian filters.

I don't claim to know if the effect is intentional or accidental.
