"Jvaqbjk kc sna", someone who wants to email you is not prepared to spend
hours on figuring out what your real email address is! The domain name is
easy enough to guess. What, pray, is "rot-13" for? The puzzle is too
difficult to unravel; I just don't get it.

Assuming your useing OE6, then focus the *gibberish* then goto 'Message'
menu, click 'Unscramble (ROT13), have all revealed to you, click same again.

ROT13 is to do with the fact that thiere are 26 (13*2) characters in
alphabet, if you count 13 characters away (in iether direction) from the
original character then you will encode/decode
