Isn't random spam awesome?

So, sometime last week I started monitoring my *@nulldomain.com email accout to see what other kinds of spam end up here. Most of it's pretty standard spam, but I've noticed a couple interesting things. The latest is a message regarding MSN shutting down. I've included it for you're viewing with e-mail addy's removed below. I dunno, pretty standard lame spam, but either way, there ya go.

  • @cupcait ugh. I don't really care for that either, or force auto-directing based on useragent. There should be an option! 22 hours 1 min ago
