The picture on this page is nice but it's too fuzzy. I suggest maybe getting something clearer, or maybe a screenshot from RE: Prince of Nigeria or something.

I haven't had any luck finding a better version of that, or a similar e-mail that would look good at wiki size.

Even if it's all text, @3 is a wonderful illustration of how it usually plays off.

However much text it is, it's an improvement.

I doubt it's possible to show this trope without showing an email of text... I mean really...

Well, the examples on the page list that a snail-mail version happens in Dragon Age 2, but I never played the game so I can't say how well it might translate into an image.

One or two more votes for the Crackberry pic and we can run with it.

And there we go. It's up and tagged. Old caption, new, or none?

I'm fine with the current caption. Doesn't harm or change anything.
