Spammer is a Meathead

Of the many chores I do around the parish, one of them is dealing with the spam that comes across my desk. Of late I've been getting piles of stuff from what must be the most clueless spammer on record. My client won't display any of the contents because the entirety of each email is so malformed that it can't be deciphered. I have to edit it myself just to get SpamCop to interpret it. Check out this typical example of the piles of goo I've been getting from various locations around the world. (I've highlighted the most blatant bits of silliness):

See what I mean? There are no carriage-return/line-feeds (CRLF) before the header keywords (From:, To:, Subject:, X-Mailer:, etc.), the boundary separators, the envelope keywords, before the envelope's content, or most other areas that could benefit from a strategically placed CRLF. I haven't even bothered to try and figure out what's going on in the HTML envelope near the end, but it looks dreadful.

This has been going on for weeks and every email has a different link for a different "product". I can't believe this meat-head is actually getting paid for these malformed missives of debatable commerce. It has to be one person running some kind of scam and has no idea that almost none of it is actually being read by their "target audience".
