Yeah, I'm sure there are plenty of recovery bootdisks around that you could
talk into readint ntfs. Some of the linux-on-a-floppy ones might do the
trick, not sure.

There are at least 3 versions of ntfs. Linux can read/write the earlier
ones, but can't safely write the later ones. MS implemented a log based
file recovery system but hasn't published details on how that works.

Re #20: Making a DOS boot CD is actually pretty easy with something like
Nero Burning ROM. El Torito bootable CDs simply have an image of a
bootable floppy on them. I made a Win98 "emergency boot disk", then
used it as the disk image to make an El Torito bootable CD. This was so
I could do some stuff with my Thinkpad 770, which I don't have the
floppy drive for. I wanted to create a small DOS partition (it normally
runs Linux) so I could run a few Thinkpad-specific BIOS setting
utilities. I was hoping I could use FreeDOS and have a totally
Microsoft-free machine, but sadly the Thinkpad utilities crash when run
under FreeDOS.

The only strange thing about this spam is that the subject header, when
viewed in the mail window, reads:
Subject: Re:"Your Trusted V^iagra Source, Overnight Delivery"
Can anyone tell me anything about this subject encoding method, and why
I've never seen it before? Is it a standard, and if so, what is it?

It's been a while since I looked at the MIME RFC's, but the subject
encoding is probably the standard way of specifying a specific character
set in the subject line. There are RFC collections on the web where
you can look this up.
In the examples cited, it looks like the ISO-8859-1 (Western European)
character set is specified, followed by the subject encoded in base64.

Good Morning, Dear Friend,
Our local Religious Community contains several radio amateurs and they
adviced us to appeal to you.
As a result of a big weather-catastrophe happened in the previous year we
lost everything. Now almost everything is repaired, but we are still
experiencing great difficulties in radio hi-fi equipment for listening to
Religious Music.
Therefore we would be more than pleased if you could help us with any old
hi-fi audio equipment which you don't use anymore such as a turntable,
power amplifier, etc., and send it to our postal address is:
Oleg Tiknonov,
P.O. Box 18.
Kaluga 248600.
Russia.
In a gratitude for your help, we would be happy to send you a professional
Russian communication receiver - Volna K from the personal collection of
our member.
We pray for your help and we hope to hear from you soon.
God Bless You,
Oleg Tikhonov.
Kaluga. Russia.

It seems to me that shipping "any old hi-fi audio equipment which you
don't use anymore such as a turntable" (etc) would cost a great deal more
than the value of such obsolete equipment. Especially as this message
seems to be being sent wholesale to many recipients (I have received it at
other of my e-mail addresses). There has got to be a gimmick in this.
Perhaps they will just collect and resell the copper?

I have finally stopped getting email from companies trying to sell me a
factory full of aluminum and other metal products. I know what started this
- I asked for a local source of about $100 worth of aluminum angle painted
white to install porch glazing with, by posting at a website which some idiot
harvested email addresses from. I finally got unposted, I presume. Someone
in Turkey or India or some place helped by giving me the original URL.

Exonerate Lt. Col. Allen B. West from Criminal Prosecution
From: "PatriotPetitions.US/Federalist.com" <sign-colwest@patriotpetitions.us>
To: scott@cyberspace.org
Sign a citizen petition on behalf of Lt. Col. Allen B. West,
U.S. Army, who was indicted last week on criminal assault charges
for the psychological intimidation tactic he used to acquire
vital intelligence from a captured enemy combatant in Iraq --
intelligence that saved the lives of American soldiers facing
imminent attack.
"[The enemy detainee] and his accomplices were a threat to our
soldiers and the method was not right, but why should I...be forced
into prison for protecting my men?," Col. West asks. Patriot
Petitions poses the same question: How can we expect our frontline
officers to fight wars the Bush administration calls "preemptive"
if they are not given the latitude to respond -- preemptively --
to the asymmetric threats of terrorist aggressors? Would the
deaths of American soldiers in the ambush Col. West thwarted at
Saba al Boor have constituted a more acceptable result for the
Army's judge advocate? Please sign the petition to exonerate
Col. West from this grossly misguided criminal prosecution.
(Please forward this invitation to friends, family members, and
fellow American Patriots. In order to force serious consideration
of this issue within the White House and Congress, we must first
collect as many petition signatures as possible.)
PatriotPetitions.US, the nation's leading public opinion advocate

President, Congress and Department of Defense to Exonerate
Lt. Col. Allen B. West from Criminal Prosecution. Please read
this brief description of the campaign and register your opinion
on this matter. Please let your voice be heard!
Please join fellow Patriots on the front lines in defense of our
liberty and national sovereignty.

I gather that the Federalist would also approve of physical torture if it
would "acquire vital intelligence from a captured enemy combatant".
Perhaps they would like to reopen some of Saddam Hussein's torture
chambers.
