Thank you all. I'm familiar with spam :) Some might call me a nerd, 
even. The reason I posted this, was because I haven't seen this kind of 
mailing list spam, where the real sender is not visible. I hope there 
won't be many if these in the future ([mythtv-users] in the header) 
because I'm filtering all the messages from this list to a folder. 
Advanced filters are possible, I have to make one if necessary.
