I just got a batch of spam: perfectly justified blocks of random-looking characters. Makes me wonder if somebody is trying to train Bayesian filters to reject PGP messages.
Another hypothesis: Cover traffic, to defeat traffic analysis.
The procedure: send N copies. N-M of them are spam, sent to uninterested
parties. The other M parties are the intended recipients. Provided N>>M,
and other mild restrictions, they achieve plausible deniability.
