This attempts to create emails with random subject lines and contents, presumably in order to defeat mail gateway blocking programs. This text is often pulled from files stored on the infected PC, and it appears that little error checking is done on the text extracted - in particular, the text inserted into the email subject field can contain carriage returns and linefeeds. This can create various kinds of malformed emails, and depending on how your system handles these, it might be possible for copies of MagiStr to slip through your gateway scanner. -snip-
