I’m not sure if this one is lame (the subject, text, and double salutation are certainly lame) or clever. This spam arrived in the form of a meeting invitation. My Outlook spam filter (SpamBayes) doesn’t seem to look at meeting invitations, and it also slipped past the SpamAssassin filter on my mail server. Consequently I got a notification of an upcoming meeting with the spammer. This thread shows that the problem has been around for a while. Here are the details:
