Email Image Spam

[Ahmad]

Not really on topic but some users seem to be knowledgeable about spam. 
  For the past few months I have been getting the odd piece of spam 
using images to circumvent spam filters.  Aside from the amusing 
attempts by these messages to untrain my spam filters with content from 
books as the plain text it was easy to write a new filter to catch the 
spam.  As soon as I did that I get a new spam message that circumvents 
the new filter with a bizarre subject "weary of the war" with excerpts 
from the book Head First "Design Patterns".  I read the plain text and 
although it was simply text ripped from the book it actually made sense 
to me in the context of my new filter and the new piece of spam.  The 
text was rearranged and was going about patterns that made sense in the 
context of spam patterns.  Honestly, I only put sugar and milk in my 
nescafe.

Now get this, I just spell checked this email and it offered to replace 
the word nescafe with the word mescaline.  I'll bring some coffee to the 
next lug meeting if anyone wants a cup.
