Sam Heywood,

Did that part actually come as three lines broken up as illustrated, or was it
all one line, like so:

<p class=MsoNormal>YES &gt;<a 
href="..\..\..\..\My%20Documents\ABX%20Clients\1506%20Dream%20Makers\Marketing%20Material\[EMAIL PROTECTED]">Click
 Here</a><o:p></o:p></p>

This link would almost always fail if spam is viewed offline.  Maybe the
document was supposed to be viewed online, with the relative URL referring to
the remote server?  Was there a base href anywhere in the message?  But then it
seems the backslashes should have been forward slashes.  Could "class" have been
something Java-related?

Spam is not always designed for maximum readability!  I received, in the same
email download, an apparent spam in HTML from .tw top-level domain.  Subject was
an odd mess of upper-ASCII characters, as was the message within the HTML.
Surely I wasn't seeing the message as intended, but even if I were, it would be
just as incomprehensible, Chinese to me (literally).  Charset was big5.  I get
occasional spams like that, not always HTML, apparently Chinese or Korean.  I
have no way of rendering Oriental-language fonts in DOS (maybe Linux with
X Windows?), but wouldn't be able to read the message in any event.
