It seems the people behind them are now well aware that one method of filtering these e-mails is to block anything with certain words (free, viagra, weight-loss and so on) in the subject line. Instead the senders are now generating e-mails with apparently random words, sometimes with quite poetic results. A couple we've had recently are "grammar congresswoman" and "carrot necromancer".
