I received a spam just the other day, it was ONLY an HTML attachment.
So, of course, I looked at it with a text editor rather than open it. I
didn't make a note of the generator, but the above looks very similar to
the garbage that started this spam - an awful lot of it before the
recognisable HTML tags started.
Suspecting a lot of referrals to the sending IP, as mentioned in the
"evil HTML mail" website, I deleted it without attempting to read it.
It does have the feel of spyware or malicious-ware about it, doesn't it.
Regards,
Ron
