What's with those odd e-mails with subjects withseemingly random words like "Lima squash" or "northeast tadpole" that arrive in my e-mail box? When I (very occasionally) open them, there's an ad inside.

1. It could be jumbled and sent to you, do you have the key to decrypt it?
2. It could be from some artifical intelligence program.
3. It could be from a hacker, spamer, or who knows...

These messages are designed to bypass spam filters by making the contents look legit. Often the images contained are the real comeon, or a single line with url that is lost in the rest of the junk.

Theyre usually in your "Spam" or "Bulk" Folder. These are just random people sending traffic throughout the internet. These emails usually contains ads and by clicking on them usually gives you spyware, adware, or viruses. You should not even read these emails. Simply delete them. Create 2 email accounts, one for family and the other for buisness. When signing up onto a site use the one for buisness. Your family one should be only for friends and family and you wont get any advertisments.

99% of the time, it's spam that's trying to leak past your spam filters.
Just flag them as spam in an attempt to improve your spam filters.
