    Hi again

    I got some replays. But not many phishing mails. (I'm not looking for
    Nigerian Letters)
    A phishing email explanation was requested.

    Phishing emails are emails that are made to look like they are from your
    bank or eBay or so.
    But they are really from people that are trying to steal your credit card
    number or login-information.
    They will lead you to a fake site, where you are asked to fill in your
    information.
    Look at http://www.antiphishing.org for more info.

    I'm only interested in the e-mails. In text format.

    I found this on my own
    http://monkey.org/~jose/wiki/doku.php?id=phishingcorpus
    it has about 800 phishing emails

    Thanks
    Nicklas
