I'm going to join the guessing game and guess that some scoring system
scored on uncommon words (hierarchical), trigger words (credit), and the
number of Cc: entries (I did not count the ones in the original, the
complaint had a bitch-list 4 or five long, some of the responses to it
have 8 or 10 Cc:'s I think--I did not count them either), the origin
(Road Runner) and so on and reached the conclusion of 'spam'.
