He sells used airplanes, standards and experimental. So, I do not think this was typical spam. Either Mr. Cano has a reflector account, and just wanted to network for his business with all of us, or he was trying a way to connect with other aviation people and some how the email went to the reflector.

We have discovered that MSN has been hacked a few times. The hackers access E-mail names through MSN, not the individual's account. Then everyone within that person's E-mail address book. They then send out all sorts of junk.
