H20 power spam in my mailbox

Well, the "water powered" car nonsense has moved into the arena of spam email. I just got one, the beginning of which I've included below. I can't believe the things people will bite on.

We offer a cost effective, immediate solution to
the "energy crisis" and pollution - right now.

Something YOU can do NOW, using water technology
provides you with a great ENTRY-LEVEL solution you can install in a few minutes without
engine modifications, you start driving, and the
next thing you know - you start thinking: "Hey,
something CAN be done about it!"

I don't expect you to believe in 100% watercars.
You see, your belief level has to rise step by step. Free energy is hard to believe until it's actually happening under your own hood. Until you see it in your energy bills. In April 2006 I was skeptic too. So start with this first easy step.

Analyze the full headers, figure out which ISP it was sent through,
and have that customer [or someone's compromised botnet relay]
kicked the hell off their network until they wise up.

I should probably do that. It's the sort of thing I'm good at, but oh the bother. It amazes me how many compromised computers there are out there. Some people seem to seek out trouble. I have one client whose computers are always messed up. I swear, you could send these people an email that says: "CLICK HERE TO DESTROY YOUR COMPUTER" and they would say: "Hmm, I'd better click this just to make sure..." What are they thinking?

I have a lot of email addresses which are public on the web, so they get picked up by every scanning tool in the world. When a new wave of spam comes out, I see it in my in-boxes multiple times, usually with slight variations. It's almost amusing.
