Oh, this is gorgeous. Apparently there's a spammer out there (well, okay, there are probably several) offering to get people's websites higher up in search rankings--for a fee, of course--and they're "personalizing" their emails by copy-pasting (with what's actually probably a neat little script) the domain name of the address the email's being sent to (since this in most cases would be the website owned by whoever's reading the email) into key places in the text of the email itself.

The downside of this, of course, is that it doesn't work very well for webmail. To take a particularly apt example, the subject line of the email they sent me reads

"I can't find www.gmail.com on Google!"
