NaughtyRobot
From TBTF for 1997-02-11

In the email message below I've highlighted parts of the header lines that were probably forged by the perpetrators of the NaughtyRobot hoax. Red items are the To: and From: addresses (I've substituted my own for that of the original recipient). Blue items represent the system from which the recipient is supposed to believe the message originated. The single green item is the system that a knowledgable sysadmin, studying these entrails, might suppose was the ultimate origin of the message. In fact the perpetrators covered their tracks well. I have seen instances of the note apparently relayed through these sites:
