Ebbie's comment brings to mind another problem with cryptic email message titles. Many people seem to think that hello is going to grab my attention. Well, Hellloooo every spammer in the world has used this one to death. It is time for the rest of us to quit using it. The other day, I nearly deleted a message from a friend in Illinois who used hello as a title. Oh yeah, and Hi is just as bad.

Two of the five spam messages that slipped by Postini in the last three days were labeled hello, one was Thanks, one was filler (?) and one was Luxuriate something or other.

Today's gem found by Postini: thats one nice dildo :) confirm (that one's from Kendall, by the way. Looks like we're both on Kendall's mailing list!
