The chinese/japanese ones entertain me the most.

It's interesting to sit and wonder what on earth it's all about.

I've been getting A LOT of stock market (hype) related emails lately.

[Slidey]

i noticed a few of those too, although ive recently improved my antispam so im blocking more and more nowadays..

All that stuff gets filtered by gmail and goes in my spam folder. I check that once in maybe two months.

I just checked and I have a lot of different stuff, some of it in leet. I found one message from Yahoo though, that wasn't spam.

True, Gmail does have a good spam system but once in a while non-junk messages go into the spam folder so its nice to check there once in a while

GMail's spam protection is dreadful, I had to move my personal e-mail I got spammed so badly. With the exception of one e-mail, my entire inbox is spam ...

In the office we're using MS Exchange + GFI MailEssentials. Amazing combination IMO, a great messaging platform and antispam/antivirus that really works. Up until the point we implemented this I was considering going external (to the likes of Postini and Messagelabs).

I like this:

"Dear eBay member,

As stated in the User Agreement, Section 41.1, we may send you this email.
After the multiple frauds registered lately, our company has initiated a study regarding this problem. In this study the company has reached the conclusion that most of the frauds were possible because of the low email service security level ."

My second best is the email from the spammers stating they can do spam marketing for my business!!! Wow.... just what I wanted!

I've been getting A LOT of stock market 'tips' lately with no link backs and always comes from generic disposable domains. Quite annoying as there's no way to report them or anything. If this continues, I'll have to filter the word 'stock' out of my mail box...
