Oops, I just realized my last Portuguese spam acknowledgment was from the same
people.  Maybe they are the only free Portuguese-language webmail site.

Here is the 'message'.  I use Pine so could only view it as a text file,
but it looks sort of like bad html to me.  For one thing there are two
lines before the html tag and another before title and head, all sort of
peculiar looking (best that they don't show up in the message, I guess.).
I am dear Name2770?  and dear Your text 1 287?  Is this some sort of
template that they botched?

Please don't post long pieces of email in yet another item.  Has it ever
occured to you that in posting these email is also a form of spreading the
spam?  Spam email I can just hit a delete key.  When they are dropped in an
item I have to at least scroll through them to read the rest of the item or
forget an item that I was finding interesting.  There are other items devoted
to interesting emails and spam emails please use them and leave other items
alone.

You will note that I started this item, which I think sort of entitles me to
post a few things in to try to get it started.  Feel free to post things that
you find more interesting.  Or to forget this item.  Or to start your own
items in this new conference.

Once in a while I get letters back from an ISP telling me that they cancelled
an account, but usually they tell me that the spammer forged their address.
I got a nice German form letter this week saying they would go after the
spammer.  I also got three copies of love.scr that all went on very long
trips around the world.  I think maybe this is a virus, does anyone know?

Of the four most recent people to email us about Jim's room for rent three
are from other countries.  One preferred to keep it to email so that he would
understand the conversation better.  He is from India.  Another is from Ghana
(already living in Ypsi) and the last is from Dresden (Eastern Germany).  I
never expected people to be searching for rooms to rent from that distance.
Isn't email wonderful?

Snail mail is better than email. It has a personal touch

Yes, the "personal touch" of snail mail - like bacteria, viruses,
allergens.....

Although i use email much than snail mail....but i would say email is better
than snail mail in most of cases.. And about the personal touch i would say its
upto the composer to reveal that i have got letters from my friends in which
they will write that old blah-blah and nothing more...

so dear try to use email in proper manner and try to utilise it for the most of
it.... anyway world wide web has more that mere "internet"

Better late than never? At least I can show off the fruits of two months
studying Portuguese. ;)

resp:1 The Nov. 30, 2002 e-mail is an automatic response acknowledging 
the receipt of your e-mail with subject "THIS IS THE PLACE TO GET 
DISCREET "SEX ON THE SIDE"...". The e-mail has been received by the 
Abuse Department and a reply will be sent within three days. The Dec. 1 
e-mail is the promised reply. They have analyzed the message you 
forwarded and identified the the author as belonging to Network 
Telecommunications of Sao Paulo (TELESP), which is receiving a copy of 
this e-mail. Further communication regarding this case should be sent 
directly to the Abuse Dept. at TELESP. (In other words, they passed the 
buck on to the next provider.)

resp:4 The Dec. 21, 2002 e-mail is another automatic response from the 
same company, as you surmised in resp:5, this time to your forwarded 
e-mail with subject "get out of debt in 36 months or less". Again, a 
reply from the Abuse Dept. is promised within three days.
