I checked out the source of the original email. It was sent by 
slashdotmedia, which owns Sourceforge. All the web links in the email 
really did point to Sourceforge, not to some questionable address. 
Sourceforge hosts the Audacity list - you can see that in the "To" 
address of every message from this list. Most mail lists I'm on 
occasionally ping its members in order to weed out inactive addresses. 
This is not unusual. I'm confident that the message is legitimate, and I 
felt comfortable responding to it. It would be nice if the list 
administrator would speak up and confirm it, but I don't think you or we 
have anything to worry about. It's not a phish.
