This brings back some fun memories from the 1990s when this was exactly how we would send prank emails.

Yep! And also, if you included a blank line and then the headers for a new email in the bottom of your message, you could tell the server, hey, here comes another email for you to process!

If you were typing into a feedback form powered by something from Matt’s Script Archive, there was about a 95% chance you could trivially get it to send out multiple emails to other parties for every one email sent to the site’s owner.

That was nice part of 1990s - many systems allow for funny things ;)
