Another kooky spam email with a twist.

6. I made a quick check and SublimeText requires plugins to execute javascript or open links.

This is mac-only. I don't have other systems running. (Those old intel macs are getting linux, but that's lower on my to-do list)

I won't comment on other plain text editors, since if you are like me, you have a raft of them (all free to use)

I saved the email as an ".eml" file by dragging it to a finder window.

"Open with" only shows a couple of apps to open it (right click or control click). Forget that.

Either of these:

A. Open a "New File" In SublimeText (command-N) and drop the eml file into the new window, or
B. Drop the eml file onto SublimeText's icon in the dock

---------------------

NOTE: TextEdit, by default, will recognize links and make them clickable. In that case: Format Menu -- Make Plain Text (command-shift-T)

NOTE: Spam emails AFAICT hide javascript and most if not all links inside base-64 encoded graphics, typically an image that spoofs a real site's login.

Hope this helps. SublimeText is free to use, but every once in a while nags you to pay. Since I only use it casually, that's OK. If I used it professionally, I'd pay.
