A few lines like this:

    Message-ID: <760857006668.qgjlcbdx2kems49.hinet.net>
    From: "<B3><AF><A6>B<AF>\" <olpcxcqkkqcgidaol.com>
    To: lili928351yahoo.com.tw

are in the headers of an email message sitting in my yahoo inbox. Is the last quotation mark escaped? Is the message deliberately engineered in order to fool mailers? As you saw, I'm fairly naive about these things.
