The things you get in Junk Mail folder
With the advancement in email spam filters, you get less and less crap mail...
But do you ever wonder what crap goes into that little wonder that makes our email-ing lives better?
I decided to take a perilous journey deep into the forgotten lands of Junk email. Armed with nothing but a keyboard and mouse, i took a step in...
It was just as they described. Messages of porn, virtual sex, prostate enhancing "elixirs", and pretty much everything useless can be found there...
I shuddered at the horrors displayed before me, and i almost clicked on the button which will make all these go away...the magical, mystical...
"Delete all spam messages now" button.
Then, amongst all these trash, something glittered. I took a look... a mail from Swenson's. Whats a mail like this doing inside? Could it be another of those "fake" title message, with god-knows-what type of contents. But what if its something else?
With mixed thoughts... i opened the mail.
It was a "thank you" note from Swenson's, saying that from now till a specified date, if we order sundaes, they will give us a same one free!
w00t!
So, morale of the story: Check your junk mail folders, there might be something good inside!
