Bizarre Spam

I just got spam addressed to "Jessica Cutler." The email included quotes from the infamous weblog, interspersed with links to whatever the huckster was selling.

Now that's an interesting pitch. Take a hot topic, find all the blogs posting on that topic, and then bury spam links in an email putatively about the topic.

If SpamSieve were a little less aggressive, that might have made it through. Fortunately, it got dumped into my Spam folder. But it still caught my eye because of the topic.
