And it's come to this

An honest harlot?

Despite monitoring my junk mail folder, simply for shitz 'n' gigglz, I don't recall receiving any previous correspondence from Katherine Isabella. So it's highly likely that she's trying to pull a fast one, to make her missive, and my expected reply, appear that much more urgent. On the other hand, her article submission schedule is filling up, so time really could be of the essence. I'm willing to take the risk of the ship sailing without me though.

She would appreciate my immediate attention to her request. So I hope she appreciates that I immediately posted it here; immediately added her to my spammers' list; and, finally, immediately deleted her email. I can really shift myself when suitably motivated.

The one point of interest here is that Katherine Isabella, or at least her email server, is not based in India. In fact, zut alors!, the UTC timestamp actually matches her declared address. This is not to say that her declaration is honest, she could be in Brazil, but it's better than most of the harlots plying this trade. So, big ups to her for that, at least.
