Spam Poetics and Prophecy?

Today, they got me with an email from "Katrina," subject line, "tell me again." Since I'd just been to a meeting about the Gulf Coast trip I'm going on in two weeks to do some relief work connected to Katrina, I opened it.

It was erectile drugs again.

And this, at the bottom:

It's kind of beautiful! I love the dialogue. "Whether purring soft I physical am in my senses or not." I think maybe I should start interpreting bizarre Spam emails, or proposing them as some kind of special code.

wow. It is strangely pretty, but very hard to read. I think that it's randomly generated. spammers have to do all sorts of things to get past spam-blocking technology. Probably putting in certain words and quotation marks, and generating it randomly by a computer program so that no to emails are alike, all help keep these emails out of spam folders.

At least half (if not all) of that is from The Count of Monte Cristo! I just read bits of that last week!

And I loved the same line you did, though I don't know if it's a line intact from the novel or what. :)
