The message
from "HLAH" contains these words:

I'm getting a lot less on Pipex. And they are only the "meet sluts

may it last!

I've been getting a lot of the financial Pump and Dump ones that are
just a .gif file with a picture of the text. I suppose it's done to
make it hard to scan for keywords.


I've been getting a lot of spam with a innocuous header and the body text
full of unconnected words e'g' "lucky hands yet UNO Major Nelson During
fatal immediate subside serial multidose binge Material Drama".

What's that all about?


Its o make sure it has a body, but not magic words like "penis
enlargment" or "$$$$ today" nthat might cause it to get ID'ed as spam..
