I think some spammers have figured out how to trigger this event and are
starting to use it to their advantage. More and more of my spam contains
this kind of mis-parse - even when refreshed. It could simply be an
exploit by the spam community, as are the multiple links.
SC is only a tool, and as such, it's not bad, but it certainly has many
limitations and imperfections.
