I use gmail at home, and it usually does an excellent job filtering spam out, but this morning an email sneaked past the filters and into my inbox. Take a look at it and you can see how it got through.

Very very well, said Madam Pomfrey, looking startled, and she too left.Not that I know of, said Mr. Weasley. Yes, its a minute off ...Wedcontrasting strongly with the black of his hair and beard
It's kind of funny how the spammers are trying to get past the filters by disguising part of the message as something that doesn't look like spam. Of course this is nothing new, but I hadn't seen a message quite like this one before.
That's funny...I just had one very similar sneak past in my gmail too.
