I've been getting these bizarre e-mails that I can only classify as spam for a couple months. Its always from a different person, always has a picture attached (or maybe inserted since I don't accept HTML mail), and doesn't do much of anything other than the annoy me. The body of the e-mail sounds like a bunch of random words thrown together to make a sentence and the title sometimes sounds legit. Here is a sample of one:

Subject: don't miss!

yeah turn off your computer

no seriously, get a email program, possibly thunderbird (see http://www.mozilla.org)

and when that shit comes in mark it as junk and the junk filters will start to pick up on that ish

If SPAM could truly be stopped, it would have already ceased to flow.

they must be noise created by terrorists to mask their communications

whereas that was a joke, there have been documented instances of just that situation happening

So you are getting SPAM e-mails from people/group you don't even know...and you decide to click on the attachment? Can you say VIRUS???

You NEVER click on an attachment in an e-mail when you don't know who sent it!
