Hi

Could you please identify youself better? The following are the subject

Release announcement translation

I have no quick way of knowing if this is spam or somthing from or 
relating to the Fedora documents project, so it just looks like spam to 
me, since I am not familiar with your name.

Spammers are beginning to craft subject lins that look like they might 
relate to a forum, etc.
In this case I used a little intuition, but my esp is running a little thin.

This goes out to everyone out there, and not just you Rahul.
