.... and so it goes on, for about 70K (well, that's what Kmail says) of
incomprehensible gobbledygook.

OK, so it's spam. What baffles me is how someone managed to produce such a
volume of verbiage that appears to have some vaguely grammatical structure
but is totally devoid of meaning. If any human wrote it, the guy should be
in a rubber room.
Makes a change from people trying to sell us Viagra, anyway. :(

Bizarre.

OK, we shouldn't really be responding to spam, but...

It sounds like the poster (may he be shot at dawn and fired into the
sun) has discovered the swiss-army chainsaw of programming - perl :(

Even more bizarre is that they do present the same relative theme within
the convoluted ranting, including each having reference to some
generally unknown kingdom (which may well exist, or had existed, but is
not reported in our Western/European directed history.)

Reminds me, however, of the oratory practices of Lord Crossharbour
Conrad Black, taken to an extreme.

A couple of weeks ago I started seeing messages like this, and messages in
which the body is just random strings of letters (rather than words).

I'm guessing they are experiments in defeating Bayesian spam filters.

My theory is that somebody wrote a complicated business-like-sounding
proposal in Russian or Chinese (some language very unrelated to
English anyway) and then fed it through babelfish.
I'm in favour of locking spammers away in the ol' rubber room
regardless, though... Maybe with babelfish for company...

> Bizarre.

Definitely.

Cheers!

I thought they were false prophets.

Well, I was curious and Googled - 'International Engineering Entomology' (or
whatever the heck 'IEEP' stood for) *only* came up on half-a-dozen Debian
lists and one post to skeptics.org.au

It looks to me kinda like the output of a "Travesty Generator". See
<http://runme.org/feature/read/+travesty/+49/> for a short description
and a link to some perl source. I remember having a fair amount of fun
with it after typing in the Pascal source from Byte almost 20 years
ago.
