"Annie shrieked. doe brasilia "He looked at her, honestly puzzled.

Until he could do that, she would have him on a chain as well as in a wheelchair  a chain of Novril capsules. He thought it was. nothing to it. You can't kill the goddess. ""Annie, would you say that cancer is something I have to worry about just now? He suddenly remembered the only incident in his life that came remotely close to this one in its desperate emotional quality. "He opened the package of Corrasable and took out a sheet He took a freshly sharpened pencil and drew a fine on the paper. appeasable

Every day I get about six SPAM messages of this type. Each one unique of content and sender address -- there is no pattern to either, so I cannot filter. The infrastructure required to distribute these must be considerable.

What on earth does the sender want me to do?

Who else gets similar material, and have you figured out what it's all about?

That's plain ole Spam you've got there Mr H. Merely designed to piss you off and/or overload a server somewhere.

Random text is used in an attempt to bypass spam filters.

Enjoy!

Yeah... I thought that for about 6 months - but the spammers still found me!

[kiwifruit]

only about 1 in 1000 gets thru to my inbox, it does a pretty flash job of sorting the shit from the real emails

Cos the pimple-faced little fucks can?

Bawahahahahahah !!!!
What a random spam message.

This must be A-grade spam compared to your average stuff. A very discrete method of selling a product by using what appears to be a perfectly normal paragraph without the slightest spelling or grammar error.

Did you subscribe to the mailing list of an on-line dictionary/book/pharmaceutical site?

Yeah, I get them too Mr H, they seem to come in waves. Exhortations to buy viagra or shonky oil stocks seem to be in vogue this week.

Three possible reasons (hypothesising here)....

1. So that when people reply along the lines of "Can you stop sending me this bloody spam", it confirms that your email address is in fact legitimate.

or

2. Some one who knows you has got a virus which is sending you these weird emails whilst spoofing their address.

3. One method of spam is to send a picture that looks like text - the trouble is that a lot of spam filters block it so they put text in the background. Maybe the spammers got a bug or your mail filtering software is removing the images....
