As I said some time ago, I receive the mails from tulasi on
my Jabber/XMPP (see below butrus_at_jabbim.cz) through a SMTP -> XMPP
gateway. Note, that I was _never_ subscribed by that "email"
in unicode_at_unicode.org.

It seems thus that tulasi had harvested the "emails" he/she found
within the unicode mailing lists' archive...
