I frequently get this with gmail (including this email), but if I report it as non-spam (actually report as non-phishing) a few times it goes away for a low number of months. As noted elsewhere, gmail comes up with the following: Warning: This message may not be from whom it claims to be. Beware of following any links in it or of providing the sender with any personal information. Learn more The learn more link is http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=8253 Not sure if the knowledge that its being detected as phishing rather than actual spam is of any help, but maybe some insight is better than nothing? I would make the assumption that the body of your emails are not being detected as spam which leaves either the headers or the signature, or a combination of the two. If all else fails, you could try removing/altering the signature?
