Oh look, another "email tracing" e-mail that's spreading across the net! Big whoop, right? But the interesting thing is: this one has a URL at the end for you to check. And although you won't find anything about this scam at the site, you can find a press release from Miller Brewing anouncing their new-improved website (which you'll be at by that point) that makes the timely apearance of this virial e-mail on the scene seem like much less than mere coincidence.
