Hint to spammer: pick *only one* random subject line!

The problem is when people look at Yahoo, slashdot, or groklaw and
jump from obvious and correct observations like "Oh my God, this
place is teeming with utter morons" to incorrect conclusions like
"there's nothing of value here". -- Al Petrofsky, in Y! SCOX

This reminds me of the 419 scams I've started seeing where they pasted
their message into the subject field instead of the message body.
The subject is 50 lines long about transferring a zillion bucks out of
$country. The body is just the 2-line signature applied by the free
email provider.
