Have you tried "dominoes"? I compiled the jphs program (jphide, jpseek) and ran jpseek on the picture and tried a few passwords until I tried dominoes because of the refernece to "play dominoes on pizza or pasta" in one of the emails, and it gives a different result than any other password. Any other password I try gives the output, "File not completely recovered" and an output file of 341,1 KB, but when I enter dominoes as the password, I get a file of size 202.6KB and I don't get any error messages, the program exits cleanly. I looked at the source code for jpseek on github and it's a set of basic conditionals, only throwing the "File not completely recovered" if the condition is not met. The file itself that is 202.6KB seems to be gibberish (viewed in hex editor it doesn't appear to really be anything), but the fact this happens at all is very strange. I tried other 8 letter words and even dominoez and such variations but those give the error and the 341.1KB file, I'm not sure what to make of this.

how about password. Spelt backwards?
