the latest breed of virii contain dictionary words (spelled right too) and
a single html link. No clue as to what it's selling until your browser
hijacks you there, wherever that is. They are designed to pass bayesian
filters apparently. I think that the <censed> <censed> <beep> <beeeeep>
who set this scheme up use an actual bayesian filter to test whether their
mail will pass. The words in the body are choosen from dictionary words
that occur often in emails.
