So used to be mail from Richard Smith, subject "Me again Richard".
Now they're using the last name, ie "Me again Smith"
FWIW, this is why it's pointless to try keeping up with those things.
There's an infinite number of ways they can change around the
subject/from/etc that there's no point in trying to keep up.
Yep. Given how easy it would be for them to do more random subjects,
I'm of the opinion that these are being offered up as decoys. Dangle an
obvious sign in front of the spamfighters, wait for us to grab it, then
snatch it away at the last minute.
It's just a way of tweaking us and keeping us busy.
Meanwhile, Bayes + SARE Stocks + header checks are catching these
easily, regardless of the subject. Admittedly I've bumped BAYES_99 up
to 4.7 points.
(On a side note, I have to laugh at the phrase, "Make it huge with
nanotechnology." Part of it is the huge/nano contrast, but "make it
huge" sounds more typical of another category of spam entirely...)
