[CLUE-Talk] Gibberish in spam messages

[Matt Gushee]

Just curious--lately I've been getting quite a few spam messages that 
include "words" consisting of random characters either in their 
subject line or in their body. For example, today I got an 
advertisement for grey-market pharmaceuticals that included the line

  "l echsb caafkekj wchbsxqnm ouz xkse gmokmuidtitfd gprc rm"

Has anybody else noticed this trend? Given the frequency of this 
stuff, it's got to be intentional. But why? I can't imagine it 
improves their chances of getting a favorable response.
