[Gllug] re spam

[john gennard]

Have today temporarily disabled my email filters to see what what junk
is being thrown at me. Most is as expected (drugs, sex, Nigerian scam etc),
but there are a few where the body contains just a string of English words.
I can see that if I try to filter for certain phrases contained in the 
body of
an email this would not stop the thing getting through. Some contain a
URL, and I suppose there are people who would 'have a look-see', but is
there any other possible advantage to a spammer (other than 
bloodymindedness)?

Any one know why this is done?

John.
