Geek Speak

Cryptic spam

I get the usual spam, but one thing I've never figured out is why there are long lines of random words, odd phrases, and excerpts from obscure Frank Baum books tacked on. Some of it seems to almost approach the level of beat poetry.

Tacked onto a generic drug ad:

That would have everybody's fingers snapping down at the coffeehouse.

If there was someway to put some intelligence into the Outlook Express mail rules so that "Vi.a.g.ra" and "V ia gra" would still be recognized, I would be a happy camper.
