[Jerry Vonau]

Let's analyze why this email was flagged as spam with an eye to helping
instead of a blanket "I'll report you".

So the total is above the threshold, which is made up of:

        *  1.6 SUBJ_ALL_CAPS Subject is all capitals

Using ALL CAPS in the subject line, 1.6
Please use proper case here, the use of ALL CAPS is considered to be
shouting also.

0.4 for having digits in the email addresses.

I'm not sure if I agree with such a high rating for being polite with the
use of "Dear..." but together with the above ratings puts this email over
the required=3.5 threshold.

Think the subject line is what put this email over the spam limit. That is
easy to fix by the sender.
Nothing below I would consider as spam, no html, url links, ads, just a
request for a meeting.

Some of the new developers may not have much experience with what amounts
to business correspondence and may need a bit of guidance in the best
practices. What a great way to scare off eager new developers, threats of
the FBI being involved.
