Spam - I just don't get it.

I was idly flicking through my email’s Junk folder checking for false positives and I happened to stop on a particular mail.

It was a list of software for sale and at the bottom it had this paragraph:

enablers blacks commodity priory Winthrop
Frankie confine misspelled fatherly Norris reorders
ranching enamel chiefs Judas plastering
Fleisher exploit veterans hurricanes curtained vanities
digest airliner kneeled lairs pursuant poems
Caltech recalls Selma flagellate ranked advising

Now that’s clearly designed to defeat my spam filter.

There are two things wrong with that:

Firstly, it didn’t actually manage to defeat the filter and it’s just a practically untrained instance of OS X’s Mail.app

Secondly, if I’m using a mail client that can filter spam, and you did happen to defeat the filter, what’s the chance that I’d be so pleased that I decided to buy something?

So, so pointless.
