Quick Question

    I might perhaps appear to be web savvy — having my own domains and a seldom-used message board and all — but I’m really not. There’s a ton of stuff about which I’m quite cluefree. One thing I’m curious about is why some of my junk e-mail has gibberish in the subject header. It will start by saying something like “How to Pay Less Taxes Legally” which will then be followed by “rrBx”. Anybody know why that is? For example, here’s a sampling from today’s junk mail.

• How to Pay Less Taxes Legally   rrBx
• Need More E n e r g y?   7775iHBy3-168Bmgw9190WTrm-24
• Printer Cartridges – Save up to 80% – Inkjet & Laser Toners   zvpxrl^fubegsngthl(pbz
• .COM .NET .BIZ .INFO .NAME all for $14.95   4312czOJ0–9
• Mickey Refinance your home now .. Rates are down   jdz xgjwd
• mickey Bigger Than Napster – Download FREE Games Now!!   tmkpd

    I’m not complaining, since it makes it easy to spot what to delete; I’m just curious. Is it code? Am I being sworn at? Is it a glitch in Microsoft’s Junk Emailer XP®? Anybody know?
    Yeah, I know this is trivial. But I’ve just come back from a funeral, I’ve written too many war entries, and I feel like looking for something trivial.
