Spam, of course, is just generally annoying and I wish it would all go away. In the meantime, at least some of it is good for a laugh. A few examples:

  • forget to fill in or remove templates variables so it’s addressed to {firstname}{lastname}
  • expect anyone to spend money or time from getting an email stuffed with nonsensical content and absurdly spelled words
  • confirmation of a purchase from a site I never visited, particularly in combination with the first two gaffes.

Then I wonder how many people never see this part of it because they read HTML mail directly.
