They're quoting bits of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations... but in such a way that I can't block the same quote every time. And then they go on to writing weird characters at the end (which you'd think a spam killer could get) the emails are all really close to ending in @hotmail or yahoo or gmail, but usually with some random extra vowels in there... if you were tracing back, you wouldn't be doing the above, would you?
