signed up to this website randomly - can't remember how i ended up there - seemed intresting.

a few days later i receive what appears to be a random email - with extracts from a danish romance by hans christian andersen. apart from the encrypted / random header nothing appears unusual about the text except for the fact that spaces have been removed between words every 10ish words apart.

Subject: The slow driving, and his being absorbed in melancholy fancies q0uqv2 kqr xwwrq svytfqu 1wdz dpbq yp1qtee wxkds qpwpcq


"Otto! thou dear Otto!" said Rosalie. "The bitterest day brings methis joy! How have I thought of thee! Amongst strangers shouldstthou receive the tidings of his death! with no one who could feelfor thy sorrow! where thou shouldst see no eye weep for what thouhast lost! Now thou art here! now, when I believed thee so fardistant--it is a miracle! Thou couldst only have received theletter to-day which carried the intelligence of thy grandfather'sdeath to thee!"
"I wished to surprise you," said Otto. "A melancholy surpriseawaited me!"

"Sit down, my child!" said the preacher, and drew him toward thecovered table. "When the tree falls which gave us shade and fruit,from which we, in our own little garden, have planted shoots andsown seeds, we may well look on with sadness and feel our loss: butwe must not forget our own garden, must not forget to cherish thatwhich we have won from the fallen tree: we must not cease to livefor the living! I miss, like you, the proud tree, which rejoiced mysoul and my heart, but I know that it is planted in a bettergarden, where Christ is the gardener."

The preacher's invitation to remain with him, during his stay, inhis house, Otto declined. Already this first night he wished toestablish himself in his own little chamber in the house ofmourning. Rosalie also would return.

"We have a deal to say to each other," said the old preacher, andlaid his hand upon Otto's shoulder. "Next summer you will hardlypress my hand, it will be pressed by the turf."

"To-morrow I will come to you," said Otto, and drove back with theold Rosalie to the house.

has anyone else received this email or registered?

Got the same e-mail

I received this exact same e-mail, except my subject line was different:

exclaimed also the old preacher, astonished

I can't for the life of me remember signing up for this site, but my memory is shoddy sometimes so I might have.

my message was from kuoi847SPLATglobenet.com and to dotty803SPLATmbmmove.com. The second email address gets me on to a web site www.mbmmove.com a transport company. checked out the source quickly and can't find anything unusual.

the sting of characters i get out of the text is as follows

et tt lf uh rd el sd ea ec t,f (i'm going to ignore the comma) ds tw ef ys rg nh oe fm dl yp eo

now where did i hide that notepad and pencil.
