In my e-mail inbox today:

"Dear Sir,

Glad to hear that you"re on the market for disposable
sanitary napkin."

By the way, I recommend against opening attachments on Chinese manufacturer spam.

Also by the way, I'm testing whether "the new Google Groups" copes with a message subject containing a plain "[I]". But there aren't proper line breaks, the last that I saw, so not progress to be universally welcomed.

Maybe they thought your wife could use them (presuming you *have* a
wife, that is.)

On the other hand, I can't begin to tell you how many millions of
pounds, dollars and other currency I've won from lotteries that a)
I've never even heard of, and b) I have no memory of entering. Just
lucky, I guess.
