Ok, although this is a really sad attempt to trick me into thinking that one of my friends forwarded this great information to me, the underlying code is quite clever.
Below is what it looks like rendered in your email client. Then I posted the code and how it renders in code view.
So what’s the trick? To get past spam filters there is random gibberish inserted between the real text, except you don’t see it because they used styling to make it 2 pixels high, white and float to the right on the margins leaving only the black text which actually is readable.
Clever scumbags!
