Thread Name: BS: Mystery email
Subject: BS: Mystery email
Just received a rather puzzling email from an old high school class mate. (ok, the "old" is a little redundant)

The email had no subject line.

It was addressed to about a dozen persons I didn't know, but might be people my classmate knew.

The only content was a link.

Although she did correspond some by email the possible subjects implied by the link name didn't seem like anything she would have had an interest in.

What's really puzzling is that this classmate died two years ago.

Does this mean that there's email in the afterlife?

If so, why haven't more of our old friends contacted us? (Yeah, they probably did contact some of you and you just never passed it on.)

I tried searching on some clues implied by the link, but couldn't find any unearthly possibilities via Google or Bing.

I was afraid to just click the link, 'cause maybe she didn't go that direction and I wouldn't want to risk dealing with the other side. She always seemed a good candidate for upward mobility, but I'm not sure whether that sort of advancement is always consistent with what we see in our friends.

Possible explanations, or suggestions about how to continue this correspondence would be welcome, especially if someone has a link to a friendly (heavenly?) place where I might get some advice on proper protocols for reply mailings to the dead (I doubt she's among the undead, but one never knows?)

[I wonder if my AV works in the "beyond."]
