 		It's not spam, I got it from the e-mail that was given for Mr. Sanders. There's some numbers that stand out, but i've never been good at mathematical stuff so..... i'm pretty lost.

Also, she mentions in the blog that she has to decipher one of Sanders' emails.

It's the same paragraph over and over, except with slight differences such as names, amount of days and Senate bills.

I could try to get all of the numbers in one place, but I don't think this is a good lead.

 		In the blog, Max mentioned TNN spam when trying to contact Mr. Sanders & the next blog entry mentioned a deciphered email, so perhaps there is something there.

The deciphered email and the TNN email don't have to be the same email, but I see the connection. Should we ask Max how he deciphered the first message?

 		I already posted in the blog... and I sent him a DM on twitter.

Does anyone else have twitter?

[edit] i don't think they're the same email, but i think it's VERY likely that there's a relation between what I received and whatever it is max received.

 		I ran the message through all of the ciphers that I know - all came out gibberish. If it's an encoded message, it's not using any standard letter shift.

I tried anagrams, bold casing, Baconian ciphering, cryptogram translating...

There's nothing in the letter that sticks out enough for it to be coherent code.

If anyone else has any suggestions, now'd be a good time to take a shot.

Someone said it anagram'd to
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Coleraine Grave Virus"
a few posts back.

I guess this still makes a Progression Bottleneck with the payphone in Diamond Square. :s


EDIT:

Just hand-checked the anagram myself, and it works perfectly.

I thought that could've been a possible anagram solution, but I'm not 100% on it & it didn't seem to lead anywhere, so I thought there could be an actual message or the like



EDIT It could also be:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Survive Coleraine ARG

I kept getting hung up on the left over "g,a,r." It just didn't seem to fit!
