As I've mentioned before, spam can be entertaining sometimes. Today's message from Hiawatha Groom (to "Cherie Dillow") is one of the most interesting yet. Since I only read messages in plain text, all I saw was gibberish:

My curiosity piqued , I actually dared viewed the HTML version and saw this 
instead:
instead:Now I was really curious what was going on, so I checked the source code to find a pretty clever use of the CSS float attribute:
<DIV><FONT face=Courier>
<DIV style="FLOAT: left;">tr<BR>ri<BR>bi<BR>le<BR>li<BR>vi<BR>na<BR>op<BR>ag<BR>al</DIV>

I must also tip my hat to the decision to use Courier font for the message, so it looks like plain text to the unsuspecting reader. I am a little disappointed, given that Hiawatha has obviously gone to the trouble of learning CSS, that he resorted to a
FONT tag, but really that is a small blemish on this otherwise masterful piece of spam. Bravo!
