The list of unconnected, random words is used to try to "poison" or
corrupt the Bayesian filters used by most spam filter programs these
days.

But this just doesn't make sense to me. They can do this refining by
sending an actual spam ad.
I get so much of this stuff now, I was thinking it must
be a virus. Messages have a real-sounding person's name,
odd collection of words in the subject and a paragraph of
random words in the message.
But, often there is a CC to one or more of my other
email addresses, that must have been "mined" off of my
website before I java'd the mailto links. Which makes
it look more like spam than a virus.
