From: Jonathan Nichols [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2004 10:10:43 -0800 Some of these spams are *so* mixed up that I have absolutely no idea what they're even trying to hawk in the first place. It might as well be written in Klingon. I just put up a private webmail for our clients. As a long-time MH user, I never knew what was in these messages. I was of the opinion that some were just put out to poison Bayes DBs with garbage. However, after perusing my spammy addresses, I see that nearly all of them have a very nicely produced graphic for insurance, pharmaceuticals, body or performance-enhancement products, and the like. The link is often an IP address or a hex-encoded uri. Klingon is much more regular. :) -sam --- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
