The Advisory Boar: Spam sent through The Hindu web site

I just received a Nigerian scam email sent through some "forward this article" feature on The Hindu web site. Here's the message, slightly edited:

Sir,

honest person to introduce this transfer project with. My name is Mr.

Ghana, First Light Branch Accra. I am a Ghanaian married with two kids.

I am writing to solicit your assistance in the noble transfer of
US$5.500.000.00.

No, that's not a mistake—there really are two From: fields. But that's probably the least broken thing about a feature that allows people to send arbitrary email messages (with no reference to an article in The Hindu, by the way) through their site.

I wrote to thehindu@vsnl.com (which is also the contact address given on their web site) to report the problem. At least my mail did not bounce. I wonder if anyone will pay attention to it.
