Spam milestone?

I just got a piece of Dutch spam! At least I think it's Dutch. I would say I think it's the first time I've ever gotten foreign-language spam (unless you count ASCII garbage as a foreign language), but I suspect I've probably gotten Spanish spam or something at least once before and not even noticed. But Dutch is much more interesting.

Then again, I probably find this more amusing because it's 2 in the morning and I just got back from a Party of Much Nift. More details after I've slept a bit.

What's really exciting is Big5 chinese spam when you read email in 7-bit ASCII.

So post it! I'd be curious, and I think I could identify which european language it's in, provided it is in a european language.

That is most definitely Dutch (Nederlander). Unless it's Flemish (Vlaams), which is the same language to everyone except a Fleming.

There's something about "Belgische", which makes it sound more like it's Dutch (Flemish), but it is theoretically possible it's Afrikaans. At least as far as I can tell.
