on my yahoo email account it isn't possible to detect as reply address appears to be yahoo, until you do reply when it is clear it has gone to a gmail address, but the blackberry shows the reply address as a gmail in the main message.

obviously the grammer and everything and the shear fact they want all your info means they'll only scam people who under the law of the jungle deserve not to survive anyway.

But these Nigerians are going to improve, stay alert.
