This one I laughed out loud at. It’s so easy to use the BCC feature of any email system to hide your multiple recipients, and yet so many spammers seem to ignore this fact. When I read this message, sent to cathy@frogstar.biz, it made me giggle. I didn’t include the whole message here because the content wasn’t the funny part… just the header and first line are the jewel.

In case you don’t get it, they’ve taken a list of about 50 domains that start with “f” and sent this message to cathy@ for each domain.
