There was no indication from the e-mail I received that it was
LIS-MIDDLE-EAST. Of course I agree that it is perfectly acceptable for
French to be used on this service.  Had I known that the message was for the
purposes of LIS-MIDDLE-EAST and not the e-mail equivalent of a prank caller,
as I assumed, I would have been more circumspect.
