Please DON'T do this: plain ASCII is perfectly adequate for mailing list
mails: no one wants to see the indetical content wrapped up in needless
swathes of HTML as well as the ASCII version.

So find the setting in your mailer that says "send messages as plain text
only".

Duh!

You seem to have a problem too!  Addresses in the range [192.168.0.0] to
[192.168.255.255] are PRIVATE ones, which are explicitly not routable.
(See RFC-1918.)

If you're getting a reply to the ping, then YOUR network must have a
machine with the identity [192.168.1.5] --- it goes nowhere near Spyman's
system

You also have another problem, in that you've failed to excise anything
from Spyman's message: you ought to quote only sufficient to provide a
background for your reply, so really the precepts applicable to news will
work: <http://www.geocities.com/nnqweb/nquote.html> provides good
guidance on how to quote in news articles, and is a good paradigm for
mailing lists too.

That's where the HTML crap started.
