I've been seeing "We'd like to buy your product, please send a quote"
messages for a while now; some of them are fairly obvious phishes sending
the user to a website where they enter their username and password to see
the "product specifications", but there are others whose purpose isn't
obvious - no URL, nothing beyond just "send us a quote for 5000 units of
your product".
Does anybody know the rationale behind these seemingly pointless spams?
Are they a 419 variant of some sort? That seems sort of inefficient given
that they will probably primarily reach of people who, like me, aren't
selling anything.

Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped
and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to
a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet
wound. -- L. Neil Smith
