Cheers for the forwarded spam, very interesting, Ive only had a quick look 
very clever how the message looks small and compact but when you view the 
source its very big and all over the place.

If I'm reading it right the thing is HTML?

My first thoughts are, anyone with a good anti-spam program should stop this 
in its tracks seeing as the word Tablets is in the subject line, typical 
spammer trick of spelling save as savv.

I like the ones that are spelt v-i-a-g-r-a this is trying to get round the 
rules that your spam blocker uses.

I take it that was the whole message? See these are pointless mails apart from 
the subject line (which only alludes to what the mail might be about) the 
body of the message is totally mystifying.

Theres no contact details (Other than the senders email which is probably just 
a mailer) so even if I wanted tablets Christ knows how I would get them from 
these people.

This is defiantly SPAM, it meets my criteria;
1. No contact details.
2. No Unsubscribe facility.

I personally wouldn't get suicidal about getting it as, on the face of it, it 
seems fairly small and inoffensive. 

The delete key is located top right just by the backspace key :-)

(I must figure out how to put this Ascii stuff to good use) ;-)
