Received in my inbox a couple of days ago. The warning is generated automatically by Thunderbird, using some heuristics. Below the fold, the ad copy informs us that the agrarian antifederalists who forced the passage of the Bill of Rights were, it turns out, the ideological forerunners of the nationalistic, pro-forced-sterilization, technocratic Progressives of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and of today’s left-liberal Barack Obama voters.

Here's a screen capture of an e-mail being displayed in Mozilla Thunderbird. It's advertising a book entitled The Progressive Revolution: How the Best in America Came To Be. The ad copy begins, "Everything good about America has come about because of the hard work of progressive-minded people like you." At the top, there is a yellow strip with a warning message, generated by Thunderbird, which reads "This message may be a scam."
