If they aren't carrying poisonous attachments, I usually just assume that 
they're most likely the result of somebody who hasn't read the instructions 
for their spamming software yet.  I've had a few spammers where I could 
actually watch as they got more proficient at using their software until 
one day they suddenly cease operation.  I don't know what happened to them, 
but it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside when they went away.
