gmail and hotmail have gained a reputation for being favorite tools of
trolls and scammers, because they are disposable. I agree with you, though;
I have my ISP mailbox (the one that shows up here) but I actually prefer my
Yahoo mailbox. It's a hassle to reply through the ISP because that one only
accepts posts through dial-up, while Yahoo works seamlessly through
broadband and has much better spam filtering.

If you post in here with a 'real' email address, you will need that spam
filter!

Truth to tell, you really don't need any kind of legitimate email if you are
trolling or don't care for a response. Your return email could be
'abc@def.com' - the Usenet just doesn't care. My email is 'munged' - it has
an extra letter added, but a human being could reasonably be expected to
dope it out. (And some computer programs, maybe).

IMO, 'keyless entry', 'got scammed', and 'clutch kit' are not trollish in
the least. I did not find 'amazing opportunity' (story of my life), but that
subject line pretty much gives it away.
