I thought it was pretty interesting; I don't know the person who sent it to me. Maybe it's a weird message? :p Let's see if it's something you can decipher - give it your best shot.

If it's something stupid, then tell me...I'm really, really not sure. I thought it was pretty funny.

It looks a lot like a computer generated list of random words designed to defeat spam-filtering protocols.

Duh, it's a message from Satan telling us of the impending arrival of the AntiChrist, and therefore Armageddon and the End of the World. I'm annoyed now. He didn't send it to me.

Bah, I thought it would be fun...I guess it's just spam.
Oh God...whatever you do, don't read this aloud!

yeah, but the real message/malware must have been blocked.
sorry to ruin the fun, but it is spam/malware. was the sender some random name? that is another big sign.
It is an Ad for free penis enlargement.

It's an attempt to bypass mail filters. They try to overload the checkers with legal words in the hopes it gets through.

Then it definitely spam, and most likely malware.

Don't get mad, the Great Adversary has been having problems with his mail server. He was making a big speech about how he shall "Corrupt All", and the IT guys took it too literally...

This is why you should never trust the IT guys when it comes to the end of the world. Were they right about Y2K? No. Says it all, really.

Well many filters use the Baysian Statiscal method for weighing words to see if they are valid for email.
For example Cyalis vs schedule.
The more valid words the higher probability the email is valid.
Spammers toss in junk words in an attempt to trick the filters to offset bad versus good.
Now if that was all that appeared in the email; you probably have a bad spammer.....

Could be fishing. If anyone responds then they know that it's a legitimate mail address and can sell it.
