I've been getting a bunch of spams with the subject line:
"Your Yahoo! ID - <Account name>".
They seem to get funnier every week.  The latest one says:

"De?ra? Ya?oh?o! Me?ebm?r,
We m?tsu? c?ceh?k t?ah?t y?uo?r Ya?oh?o! ID was regis?et?red by re?la?  
pe?elpo?. So, to he?pl? Ya?ooh?! prev?ne?t au?ot?mated
r?itartsige?ons, ple?esa? c?il?ck on t?ih?s l?ni?k and co?elpm?te code  
ver?tacifi?ion pr?sseco?:
T?nah?k you.
"

Is there a script that prints this garbage?  Is anyone supposed to be able  
to read it, or do the spammers expect suckers to click on their phishing  
links without reading the text?  If so, the phishing link was also mangled  
and it comes up as an invalid address.
