in internet email gateways, one thing SPAM detection software does is analyse the body of the email.
if duplicate emails are being sent to many addresses the message becomes suspect. Throwing a bunch of nonsense (quasi-randomly generated wordlists) into the body of the individual emails makes each message unique enough to fool anti-spam measures when passing through servers.

I'm still confused.
I mean, that was the entire email. So what on earth could the purpose of that email have been? To amuse me? To get me to make a Chinese campfire? I mean it wasn't even porn related. I demand more of this kind of thing. More meaningless emails. Right now!

those normally contain a crappy GIF image where the real advertisement is contained
if that wasn't attached, I don't know. Maybe the Russian crime syndicate needs to hire better spambot programmers?

Oh. Firefox.
I think you might be on to something there. Haha. Well, it was fun while it lasted. I guess that's why I love b3ta. We really have no purpose here. Just to be unlawful and creative. And irreverent.
