Everyday I get nonsensical spam like below. I don't understand what the point is of sending this gibberish. Does anyone else get it to?

Do you think they might be sending it to see if the email address is good so that they can follow it up with a more conventional type of "selling spam"? LOL

Either way, we have this cool little bounce button that we can click to make it appear as if the email has bounced back. I use it all the time and it seems to have cut down on the amount of spam received.

Tis too late topare her nails now.

I have seen some with nonsensical subject lines. I don't even read them, I just trash them. I wish I had a bounce button!

I to wish I had a bounce button. I have a safe list that I construct with only email's of people I know. All the rest goes to my junk folder. I never read these just empty the folder and go about my day.

We get a lot of those e-mails too. I love the bounce button. It really does cut down on the number of junk e-mails you get.

I never got those email or the ones with viruses in them. It is like what is the point of trying to damage someone else work? It isnt like they are there to see it.

Some people are just bored and having nothing to do.

Never heard of a bounce button. I only receive email that i have told is my safe list and others all go directly to my junk folder and i automatically just hit empty on it. don't look and don't care to look.

yes, I don't think those spammers realize that it isn't going to make us buy their product any more than if we didn't see the annoying emails lol

I am using apple mail. It just comes with it. Perhaps there is a PC mail program that has it?

I used to get them on my school email account ALL THE TIME!!! I mean like 5-6 a day, and what was weird about it is that when I changed my spam filter to ONLY except mail from my school's email account, I would still get them with the email origin being from my school. It was weird, and even the tech guys had trouble fixing it. They finally stopped, but I have no idea what they are for.
