I get spam daily. Most his the filters with no problems. Though I love to occasionally delve within my Junk folder to see the last few months' of crap.
This is very funny to me (I've censored private info here and later with "***"):
Quote:
Your order for our air carriage services has been accepted and processed.= The rotorcraft will be at your disposal from 0.45 thursday to 2.30 p.m. = sunday. Once again, the rates are as follows: 1 hour in the air: 878$ Takeoff / Landing: 279$ 1 hour down time on the ground: 89$ Longest flight is 5 hours. When flying for longer distances, a second pilot is needed, and the cost = accordingly grows by 87$ per hour.
For grinz, here's the header (emphasis added):

Well, isn't that special. Being that it's so easy to trace these things, why do spammers bother? ;-)
In the meantime, who wants to fly?

Why do they bother? Don't they know that I don't have to "open" the E-mail per se and directly just punch up its plaintext source via Thunderbird/SeaMonkey (CTRL+U)?
Anyway, it's entertaining stuff to me. ;-)
