Noticed how the spammers’ ratware choked on the actual message body.  This didn’t actually get to my inbox.  I use SpamPal as a filter and I use Thunderbird as an email client.  The latest version of Thunderbird has a built-in junk mail filter that will read the SpamPal headers directly  (for previous releases of Thunderbird, or for any other email client, SpamPal can be set to tag the subject line, and you can manually set filter rules).  Now, I could only figure SpamAssasin, and I could get my mail filtered when I run linux….
