There was, of course, an attachment. I have a few critiques for the spammer who tried to get me:
* I'm allowed to be first world-arrogant towards spammers
  1. Airline tickets usually involve both a departure and a destination.  At least in the first world*.
  2. There is no "Fort Worth" as an airport
  3.  Airline emails are wordier than this
  4. No one in the USA would say "bought ticket"
  5. "Delta Air Lines" is a) two words and b) not a sentence needing a period
Otherwise, excellent try!  You keep trying, Spammy!

JT--Found your blog when I typed in support.7@delta.com. Received a similar email, figured it was spam, and wanted to check it out, so I searched the internet (with just the email address). Your blog is the only result I found, but I love your reasoning on the spam for this email. As you can see, they are still at it happily trying there best to get some poor schmuck to open it. Best Regards, glad you had it posted---Bekah--Central FL
