Yes, I think that's exactly right. It's a statement of what the sender
perceives to be important about the email. I read email for the
content; having the URL at the top is an assertion by the poster that
he thinks his resume is more important than what he says. (Yes, I know
some of you are about to hit reply to say "maybe it is from Gadi".
Don't bother -- what he says is often quite valuable.)
