Usually these messages have a nonsensical plain-text parts and the
real spam is in the HTML part. If your default setting is to view
HTML, in TB or any other mailer, you will see the spam. The one you
sent had also a non-sensical HTML part, which leads to assumptions as
to the intelligence of the spammer...
