well, it had forged headers similar to spam....

Status:
The 'whynot.net' headers are forgeries, I see these in spams all the time.
The 192.168.0.5 IP is a private subnet address which is not likely to be the
actual source.
It was *probably* sent directly from (as14po52.ht.ficnet.net.tw
[202.145.33.52]) which appears to be a dialup account in Taiwan. The text
is probably in chinese, but there is no mime header to indicate the proper
charset to use, which is why it appears as gibberish. Ah, yes, I ran it
thru various chinese charsets, 'Traditional Chinese [big5]' appears to
display it correctly (but I can't read a bit of chinese...)
