Welcome to my journal. This is where I'll be revealing my innermost thoughts and feelings to the world. Occasionally I'll talk about other stuff, but mostly about my experiences.
Jan 26, 2003: Am I spam or not? (link | trackback: 0)
Time: 10:10 - Mood: Puzzled - Location: Home - Now playing: Nothing
I came across a really weird email yesterday. The subject was gobbledygook, which is a very good indicator that the email is spam; I was just about to delete it out of hand when I saw the message. It had absolutely no commercial offers, no HTML, no "CLICK HERE NOW!" enticements.
In fact, the message itself was two lines of gobbledygook too. Here's the email including headers (with some parts starred out by me):

And that was it. I'm still trying to decide whether this falls under the definition of "spam" or the one of "just plain weird"...
