The first and foremost reason that these spam attempts have failed is

Of course, no sooner do I send the message, than I receive actual spam to my 
actual asrg address. Looks like it came through a cable modem account in 
Israel. Selected headers follow.

So, was this a more intelligent instance of web-scraping, or is our dear 
spammer obtaining addresses via direct subscription to the list?
