Sigh. It's April fool's day again. Looks like someone actually set up
a cronjob to launch this a the stroke of midnight (their time). So,
let's count the obvious failures in the forgery:

1) To: Linus Torvalds <t0rvalds@transmeta.com>
                         ^

2)
Received: from penguin.transmeta.com (IDENT:adam@localhost [127.0.0.1])
        by pepsi.eax.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id CAA25103
        for linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu; Sat, 1 Apr 2000 02:01:45 -0500
Received: from localhost (torvalds@localhost) by penguin.transmeta.com

penguin.transmeta.com doesn't exist

3) X-April-Fools-Day: True

Duh!

4)

It had to be a student...

5) the date

6) the content of the message.

                                Regards,
