I observe that if we are to suppose that you are a spammer, and that you intend to try to scam people with some fictional Microsoft lottery touted in block caps in the subject like of your spam, it probably helps if you can at least spell Microsoft.

I love those spammers. They make it really easy to spot their products and hit the delete key!

If spammers weren't so lazy, they would just get real jobs.

No, no, Alaric. That's the code-signal for it being the VERY LEGITIMATE NOT A SCAM Microsoft lottery. If "Microsoft" is spelled *correctly*, it's totally a scam and not at all a legitimate.

Doesn't that - and the fact that it is, after all, very legitimate and NOT A SCAM - make you want to drop a grand on tickets?

I'm actually willing to bet that it makes no difference at all in how effective the scan is...
