The spam header was Re: xesye. I remembered it as exsye (clearly
influenced by Aram Saroyan’s famous text “eyeye”), then checked again and
found xesye was what arrived in my mailbox. The last line enacts my
preference for my misremembered version, and the whole extrapolates enough
from my half-remembered source for me to make it public.
