Spam

[BabsG]

Why is the title of the spam mail that I receive usually just a list of incomprehensible and badly spelt words?

[Kos]

To make you wonder what it is about and therefore read it

... and also to try to beat spam-filtering software.

Isn't it to prevent a spam filter from stopping it, for example if you set your filter to stop all mail with say viagra in it, it would let through v1agrer or v$agra

[LeMarchand]

I thought that it was to fool spam filters.
