It evades spammsniffers looking for phrases, and tries to do other things as well, when you open them, like verify a live email address. I never open them. I look at them with the property panel, "sam spade" the header and contact the IP without notifying the sender. One or two a week seem to slip by Yahoo's spam filter.. big deal, but if you open them... you get more.
