I'm starting to see spam that acts like its an email to friends of "Hi
Bob, how are things?  We went on a trip last week..." and it goes on for
a paragraph or two.  Finally there's the payload of a URL.

And the random works are getting "better" in that they are somewhat
grammatically correct.  See

for an amusing example from a "Frays M. Fragmenting"
