Stick a non-numeric character between the date and the time and it won't
fire...

Hmm. I used to have the "@" at the beginning of the second line in my
signature. At least one spammer put together the last word of the first
line with the domain at the beginning of the second one to make up a
completely imaginary e-mail address.

But then I've got a spam around somewhere where the spammer attached part
of his mailing list to the spam. It contains a bunch of message-IDs, a
number of obviously obfuscated addresses (ja...@xxxxxxxxxxx), a number
of *other* spammer's opt-out addresses (ha!) and such well-known
top-level domains as .au-01102248737, .h05, .e9f59f40 and .mac...
