It looked so kosher that I nearly clicked to reply, but then I hesitated,
and finally I assumed that the challenge was a fishing device for my email
address and didn't I didn't reply, and marked it as spam to Cloudmark.

I note that Cloudmark then automatically marked other similar messages as
spam, so I conclude that many other people have also come to the same
conclusion and marked it as such.

It MAY be well-intentioned, but I think it has already backfired on the
sender.
