    i imagine it passed the spam filter so he opened it.. i doubt the filters pick up VIAGRA spelled out in ascii

    Normally I don't open spam, but something about this noe struck me as odd so I opened it. After all I use Thunderbird w/ strict no fubar allowed in the HTML, so not like there was anything to worry about. :P

    Hah that's pretty cool. I wish my filter would not notify me that is was blocking ASCII spam.

    It's more than likely a new technique of evading filters. Other than filtering ASCII art altogether this might be quite difficult to stop.
