They often aren't. Many are just scanning the headers. Unfortunately,
the headers leave the uninitiated with the wrong impression. I think
that this could be avoided with a slight rephrasing. It would sure save
me a bunch of panicky e-mails and phone calls, which seem to happen no
matter how often I try to educate people.
