My Top 10 Spam Subjects from 2009
Doing some quick command line hacks I extracted the top 10 spam subjects (ignoring case) that I received in 2009 according to Postini. Each subject accounts for 0.25% of the spam messages I received with no subject accounting for 0.88%. All told just under half of the spam I got used a unique subject.

Using space as a word delimiter and lowercasing everything, these were the top 10 words found in my spam subjects. Not nearly as interesting as the full subject lines.
