Why do some spammers put spaces in the subect line, like

Subject: Call me                    85367

   The spaces aren't the key they care about, it's the tracking number behind
it. When replies (or complaints) are made, they can track the batch number.
The spaces are only to seperate it from the subject so the
mark...er...recipient doesn't notice it as easily. (Most mail packages only
show so many characters in the list view.)

It seems such an odd thing to do when it is trappable

   I'm sorry, you seem to have missed orientation. Spammers Are Stupid.  ;)

                   Reply-To: header the list is suddenly adding to postings...)
