Has anyone noticed an uptick the messages with the following message text (no subject, usually):

"Hello..i recommend this site

This is the 5th time in a month I've received basically the same message, only the link and originating email address are different.

I attach the headers so you can see this for yourself.

Hello..i recommend this site h--p://blinknews.com/users/62Earn%20more%20due%20to%20your%20PC%20from%20home3

It's really weird.
I think these people are maybe victims of some email virus, but how they got my email archiving address into their contacts is a mystery.

Of course, every one of these 5 messages all advertise some sort of home-based business - obviously if they're having to advertise using email spam they're not worth looking at (not that I'd go for home based business in the first place).
