Can someone explain to me (publicly or privately) why someone would send spam with no product to sell, no position to pitch, nothing except text designed to get by a spam filter -- without even HTML to KNOW it got by a spam filter..

Quite often it's broken spam-ware. Ever see %RND_UC_CHAR in the subject? Broken software. Spammer didn't even RTFM for his own ratware. Properly trained SpamAssassin with some additional rulesets (http://www.exit0.us) catches the vast majority of those. -Jonathan
