Hmm, do you think this one knows about the IP-revealing properties of the E-card? Or is he just trying to make himself look all friendly and caring?
Curious...

I would say he's just being friendly, and perhaps testing you to see how compliant you are. Most lads have no idea about that stuff. How about using a free proxy, like http://hidemyass.com to view your lovely card? Would that work for you? Smile

He could also be using it to circumvent any mass-mailing restrictions his own mail service has - surely an e-card service would have considerably higher sending limits.

Or it could be malware.
