Yesterday a letter arrived, apparently - spam (Google filter, however, did not catch it). But spam is not quite normal - there is no advertising, no links, no attachments.
At the same time, the text of the message and some other details made the paranoid part of my brain think.
Here is what I saw first:
Subject: -
--
Body:
b
j ! 16 11 346 18.10 ! l , .y ! k
b
It became interesting, got on Yandex. Schedules to find the train. With number 346 there is a lot of things, but there was nothing suitable in terms of time and date, neither among the trains, nor by airplanes and trains, even if you looked at the arrival time not at the terminal station, but at one of the intermediate stations.
Then he climbed into the source of the letter and found the hidden part (through the font tag is filled with white), here's the whole text (after cleaning from the html-tags, single letters - b, j, l, y, k - were marked with the same markup):
b
j ! 16 11 346 18.10 ! l , . y ! k
laboured, and ye are entered into their labours. b
3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no
Very similar to the message and the answer to it! The meaning is clearly not literal, but for those who are in the course may well contain information, because even in this form, some meaning and connection between the two parts of this letter can be caught.

UPD. Thanks to the commentators: the phrase in English is a quote from the Bible.
Now spam traffic is a very large part of the traffic in general, and it is hardly possible to track such messages in this garbage stream, considering that spam is distributed as a matter of fact broadcast.
Then my thought about all this has not yet gone ... Have you ever met such messages? Or maybe this is some kind of new project like Fox Jovovich ...
For everyone, the
source of the letter (encoding win-1251, if that), perhaps you can dig out more information.
ps on Habré for a long time, but I’m writing a topic for the first time, don’t judge strictly if it's nonsense. I thought for a long time where to stuff it, so far I decided in Information Security.
