[Scottish] Poisoned Spam

I've seen this happen twice in the past 4 months. Don't know if it's anything 
to worry about, but I just put it down to random errors (2 out of ~7000 isn't 
too significant :-p )

I'll keep an eye out for it to see if it happens again, and I'll grab a copy 
if it does.

Regards

Kyle
