Subject: Spam with PGP

 I remember hearing this is another method for bypassing spam filters.
Apparently some filters will pass e-mail with PGP signatures thinking it
is legitimate. It is an interesting concept, though.

 I think my favorite is still the jpgin an html enabled e-mail with
seemingly valid information and links that is actually a link to an xss or
pr0n site. Spammers are starting to use better methodologies and soon
filtering options will be almost impossible. I find it amusing to see what
they will do next, though.
