Confuse me, spam me

I admit it. I read this spam. Every word of it. I like stories you see! And the body copy was no random text. So after reading it, I clicked to view the attachment. Of course it’s spam, silly, but I still read it. Writing about this because usually I ignore spam, enpowered by Gmail or Mail to banish them away a click away. But this one caught me… confuse me, spam me.
Anyway, it’s really a story called Queen of the Dawn, by H. Rider Haggard. I wonder what he thinks of this.
I hate spams like these. They seem to be appearing a lot more now. It seems like about 90% of the spam I get are formatted this way. Supposed to kill any kind of bayesian spam filtering I think. Also, the put good subject lines as well.
Bastards!
