You must have an HTML filter in place. The HTML portion of that message was
an ad for a phony drug store. (That's my current desciption of them for our
spam filter - either meaning could be right - that is either a phony store
claiming to sell drugs, or a store selling phony drugs. The odds of getting
real drugs from such a source are very long...)

Anyway, they're a normal spam (our mail server gets about 900 such messages
a day - for only 20 mail addresses). It appears that one of the mailing
lists that allows posting is not moderating the postings, and thus they get
here. (All e-mail lists should moderate postings from non-list members.
Period.)
