It practically screams "spam" to me, and that's why I'm not sending to
linda@ - the mail I'm replying to was sent from the same address as the
three quoted messages.

I recommend that nobody use that mail for anything except improving
their spam filters.

> To: "Corrie Cataldo" <ietf-ssh%netbsd.org@localhost>

This is a huge red flag; why would anyone except a harvesting
mass-mailer (who doesn't actually have a human looking at the
addresses) think ietf-ssh@ is *anyone's* personal address?

It doesn't help that I find no reason to think anyone with the name
Corrie Cataldo has anything to do with ietf-ssh@.  I searched my mail
ten weeks back and my captured mail bodies back to May and found no
hits.  I then threw "Corrie Cataldo" at duckduckgo and got...zero hits.

It also doesn't help that, while the quoted messages have had their
headers thrown away, the headers I _do_ have (from the same supposed
sender) show the mail being sent through Google.  (Also,
consultinglinda.com's MX is Google.)

The content, especially this line

> If you don't want to receive my messages, just reply or go here. 

also look a LOT like spams my automated defenses stop routinely.
Looking at the HTML version, the "go here" is a link to something on
o.scesti.net, and is followed by an apparent web bug PNG image.

If it _is_ for real, linda@ is being stunningly incompetent at not
looking/acting spammy.
