The new face of spam...

So I got this in my mailbox today. I must admit this new tactic is confusing me. I guess their upside is it gets past my filter without a problem.

I could be way off here, but I think those supposedly "blank" messages (which I get too) are just designed to thwart Bayesian filters. They put legitimate words inside the meta tags but people mark them off as spam, so it screws up the filters.

Dunno if that's really true, but I can't see any other reason for doing it.

ive had many a 'blank' email, my guess is that its a spammer whos messed up sending the spam, hence he/she sends out millions of blank emails instead of millions of emails advertising get rich quick/viagra/new alternative to viagra/ or who is from some country ive never heard of and had $5,000,000,000 that needs to be deposited in my bank account
