[TRAILHEAD] Alanis

I received an email a few days ago from an "Alanis Michelle," stating that she needed help. This is the email I received:


My name is Alanis. I need your help.
Three punctuation marks will help you find the answer.
h/shsoorct/sitmreotmynoedsmpetgcwps/

I thought it was an anagram at first, and tried to decode it. That didn't work, and after several tries I finally found the correct cipher on the internet.

This is what it translated to:

I've already followed the link, and signed up for the ARG. Here's hoping someone else will too.

She has posted the first clue.

Solution
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's a Vigenere cipher with keyword "phaedrus"

I have a head but yet no arms.
I have a tail but no legs.
I'm not alive but help people live.
What am I?

I think the answer is a coin. I've left a comment for her.

Hmm, I got so far as phae using the guess method... did you do it the same way?

Things are not always as they seem; the first appearance deceives many.

It's a quote by Phaedrus.
