Spam
Perhaps someone with more expertise that I can explain this. I often receive spam that has meaningless text at the bottom. I have always assumed that was a means of capturing the attention of search engines. This one, though, has both acronyms and words that appear meaningless. Any explanation?

Re: Spam - O/T
I believe the words that are used are ones that wouldn't normally be filtered as spam. I usually ignore & delete all emails that I can't determine are credible or from someone that I care to receive email from. This way, I don't open this stuff & possibly subject myself to viruses. It has worked for me so far.
And, don't reply in any way to this crap. Don't click to unsubscribe, don't hit reply. Send it directly to the trash bin.

I don't understand the details...
but it's all about getting past the SPAM filters, not the search engines. Same principle though... both are bots that artificially scan a message (or web page) and make a decision about the contents.
Since you read it, they were successful.
