i want to make a collection of short stories on why people open spam e-mails when they know these e-mails are clearly spam. Some may open because they had bad experience the night before and sort of wished they had had viagra – others may do because they are really waiting for e-mails that include “Congratulations!” for getting jobs or getting into schools.
etc etc…

I usually open them because they are from people named Porchrabbits V. MocassinDog, and have subjects like “Vally Doll sominex PURPLE JESUS”. I have an inability to resist such nonsense. Also, I love pharmaceuticals and tranny porn.
-
Sadly, I occasionally open them because they have “hi Mary” in the subject and a sensible From address. I do have genuine correspondents who use meaningless subjects and hotmail addresses.

Purple Jesus! I would have opened that too. And I think I’ve gotten “hi Mary” e-mail too.
I sometimes get “Mako do you need ***” kind of spam. When I first got it, I got slightly worried.
