Strange spam
Recently I've been getting strange spam, which seems to serve no purpose. The format for the subject will be "Re: [random letters] [random phrase]" with a body of random words. However, I've realized that the body is almost a Best of Word of the Day, so I thought I'd share two recent examples:

Re: possibility
Recent one has some xhtml headers, a graphic and link to a "free cable tv! no more pay!" with </words> interjected to fool filters, and a massive set of real words, I suppose to fool the filters further, looking like a lot of English and thus not spam. Laaaame.
(I'm still using Eudora, execpt it's the Mac version at the moment.)
