Sounds like stuff for fooling spam filters. It actually makes sense to try to hide that junk from the recipient, but allowing the filter to see it, assuming that it does.

It doesn't work well if that is the reason as they were marked as spam anyways. However I'm more interested in the text excerpt they used.

Yeah, obviously it failed. I presume they just tried some random text from somewhere, maybe mixed or completely generated from a stochastic text generator.

Looks like the exceprt is largely from an old Irish play called "Playboy of the Western World"

Two of these actually landed in my actual inbox. I was highly amused.

It is really interesting the ammount of spam I get from different email providers. It goes like this: gmx>gmail>company email (in the two years working here I got 2 spam emails)
But neither gmx nor gmail are fooled by this email. What provider are you using?

To the best of my recollection I've never had a spam email get through from my current ISP or from gmail. The only place I get them is at work, where every now and then a couple will slip through the filters. I tried reporting one once, but the guys on that team said the filters were provided by Microsoft and there was nothing they could do about it. So I've gone back to simply deleting the few that show up.On the other hand my previous ISP didn't do spam filtering and around 90% of the email I got at that address was spam.

Oh, they are marked as spam almost always in all of my mailboxes, even the gmx address that I have for the express purpose of getting spam. I was merely commenting on the ammount of spam I was getting from different mailboxes.
