FYI

All the headers were forged - this isn't a real email address
neither is the one in the message.

If you look at the advert that was sent it was for a web harvester
This shows the real dangers of having email addresses in web pages

I suggest that FT page owners remove the mailto and address tags
otherwise you are sooner or later likely to become a victim of spam.

Especially if you are  quoting someone elses address - like the contacts
pages.
I'd scramble them using a non obvious method  (web bots are wise to
simple 
insertions)
I'd also appreciate my address being removed or protected on any pages
out there.

sincerely
