Spambots Are Getting Smarter

If I get an e-mail with no subject, or if the subject has to do with a greeting card, it goes straight to /dev/null. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Even if it's from someone I know. Even if it's from my email address (the nerve!) Today I got an e-mail "from" myself with an actual sentence in the title, like a real e-mail might have. It had grammatical errors and was obviously not from me, but they're getting closer. Sooner or later I'm going to be genuinely fooled and click on a spam e-mail and get a nasty surprise.

Stupid spammers. Leave us alone.
