Somehow...someone found my email address and sends me business BS,
mostly about mortgagues (I live in an apt and have NO interesting in owning a home.) I use Eudora as my mail program. Usually, I delete anything like this, but I accidentally opened one and underneath the message, was a bunch of words hidden in yellow. The words seem random, but I suspect there is some purpose for them. Does anybody know why this was included in the email? I'll paste them below... The consolidated header: X-Originating-IP: [24.11.64.167] Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2004 19:29:40 -0500 From: "Geoffrey Self" <> Reply-To: "Geoffrey Self" <> To: Louie <> Subject: Re: byqubu, I just found out about her.

I'll paste them > below... They're odd and unusual words that the spammer hopes will get them past a filter. With anything written in the last couple of years, it's likely to do the exact opposite.. -- Hairy One Kenobi Disclaimer: the opinions expressed in this opinion do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the highly-opinionated person expressing the opinion in the first place.

Spam filters weigh the whole text against known spam words, the sender is
tipping the balance so the filter thinks it is a non-spam e-mail. -- ************************************************ g-w "Itz Just Me" <> wrote in message news:... > Somehow...someone found my email address and sends me business BS, > mostly about mortgagues (I live in an apt and have NO interesting in > owning a home.) > > I use Eudora as my mail program. > > Usually, I delete anything like this, but I accidentally opened one > and underneath the message, was a bunch of words hidden in yellow. > The words seem random, but I suspect there is some purpose for them. > > Does anybody know why this was included in the email?
