Don't even glace at it longer than it takes to delete it.

The filters get more than 99% of that stuff but I usually give it a quick scan just in case a friend's email addy got caught as spam and in one case that stuff actually made sense so I read it just to be sure.

Maybe they are plagiarizing arfcom posts.

Maybe they are plagiarizing PCR-00's arfcom posts.

Last time I checked my Email I had about 800 unopened messages, I think I should go and delete them sometime today.

They are simply trying to type a word that is in your "allow filter" to get their message past your spam filter

With that thread title I though you had left your account open at work

The random garbage that we are seeing in most new spam is there to confuse Bayesian Spam filters so that they will let it through. Many of the stock spams I've been seeing have text and html words, sometimes lifted from forums/webpages/docs. and then an inline .gif image with the real spam in it.

I no longer accept email with .gifs inline because of this.
