 		[WILD SPEC] Weird spam, troutable. DELETE ME.
Ok - I almost 100% certain this is NOT in-game, but here goes.

I've just received an email which I first took to be spam. Just as I was about to push the delete button I noticed a few very faint lines of text hidden in the main body. Weird strings of words that make no sense.

The only reason I'm posting it here is that the word 'cube' is used. I've copied the text below, and highlighted the 'hidden' text.

Sam.

 		Aren't they just so they can get adverts with gmail? Because gmail looks for text in emails to get ads, and this might be the latest ploy to get those kind of ads there.

A thought.

 		Yeah I though they might be up to something like that. Seems far to much of a stretch to imagine it's ingame.

 		Seen this sort of thing before - probably just to help it slip past spam filters.

 		OK - that seals it then.

MODS - PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD, it's just SPAM.

Thanks

 		Although it should be mentioned that if one of the headers contains theplanet.com, then it's very likely that it is from them - The riddle e-mail was from that domain - but I haven't had any more emails from that way so they could send from more than one.
