No sooner did I complete a small python filter to divert untrapped style gibberish spams than I started getting these without the <style> tag, sending me back to the drawing board to divert these. The new format looks more like this:

I suppose as soon as I program for this, these people will start randomizing each line. Sheesh. A friend of mine, who used to work on spam control for AOL back in the day, told me that controlling spam is truly a game of whack-a- mole.
