Interesting SPAM I received


I asked my ISP to remove all spam protection on my isp-based email
address so that my POPTOMAIL could process much more email of various
difformities to better test/debug it. So, I scan thorugh the long list
of subjects to try to spot the rare legitimate email.

Saw a topic: "Fiorina HP Hurd" which sounded legitimate considering
recent discussiuons on corporate leadership. Turns out it was just
standard spam.

Are spammers getting sophisticated enough to select subjects more likely
to get someone attention based on which newsgroups he frequents, or is
this just sheer luck where they send 2 million messages with that
subject hoping to catch perhaps 100 persons who actually open the email.

Any comments ? have others also gotten such a message with that subject ?
