it's often done on purpose to get around spam filters, though this one does have a very inventive approach to english :D

good thinking, the spam filter thing occured to me afterwards because this is the first one that has leaked through in a while.

Actually, it seems to purposely avoid using the usual words for most things. very clever, and there was me thinking they were a bit 'fick innit.

I got a good one recently that had the subject "Not a bad offer".. which I thought was an improvement over the screaming hysterics of most of them.

Got a great one a few months ago too.. was from someone called "Chiseling P. Spores".. had the subject line "gaudily" and two content sections.. a txt part which said "Tesla" and an HTML part which said "generalizations". I've never worked out wtf it was for :)

Sounds like your computer is writing you obscure poetry Spandex. Maybe it's got too clever and you need to take out some RAM.
