[wp-forums] Registration page mock image

[it's EMG]

Hey t31os,

Just wanted to let you know that I was cleaning out my spam folder and found
this email to the mailing list stuck in there.

Not sure how or why the message got canned as spam, but I thought I'd let
you know.

I'm out of town so I haven't had reliable net access, but when I get back
I'll be able to catch up on things again.
