  TODAY'S SPAM
  ============

This package contains fortunes taken from subjects and bodies
of SPAM messages (mails, newsgroup posts, etc.); they are not
edited, except when lines were longer than 72 chars.


  WARNING
  =======
Some of the fortunes are _really_ vulgar and obscene;
you're warned.  Plaintext files are "encrypted" with rot13.


  INSTALL
  =======

Copy the files 'spam-o' and 'spam-o.dat' in one of the following
directory:
  /usr/local/share/games/fortunes/off/
  /usr/share/games/fortunes/off/
  /usr/local/share/games/fortunes/
  /usr/share/games/fortunes/

or wherever your unix puts fortune files.
In Linux, if you put the files in an "/off/"(ensive) directory the
fortune program will read the files only when the "-o" or "-a"
option is used (for details: man fortune).

If you're interested in Italian spam, you've to copy also the
files 'spam-ita-o' and 'spam-ita-o.dat'.


  CONTRIBUTING
  ============

You can send me funny or strange quotes taken from _real_
SPAM messages (links and names of specific products will
be removed!).
Beware that I _heavily_ filter my email addresses against
spam (isn't it ironic?), so it's better if you send me the
text "encrypted" with rot13 or the original message (g)zipped.
Please don't send me emails larger than few KB).
