Looks like a pretty stock phish to me.  It would have helped immensely if you
had posted the original as you received it, complete with any obfuscating
Javascript/etc, so we could figure out how it managed to get through.

If you're worried about posting it to the list, forward it directly to me
(preferably as a message/rfc822 attachment with all the headers and all) and
I'll forward it to the appropriate people who are chasing down phishes.
