Even though I knew the danger, I read it anyway, even though I was insulted. What's going on here? | ||

Dangerous in the sense that it could contain malware? Dangerous because you could get in trouble (for instance, if reading e-mails is against your work policy)? | ||

Dangerous in the sense that it could contain malware? Yes Dangerous because you could get in trouble (for instance, if reading e-mails is against your work policy)? No Spam mails relevant? Yes Ok that part went quick, So yes, I clicked on a spam email, which I ordinarily never do - they are just to obvious as being either scams or phishing. So Why would I have been tempted to open the email anyway, even knowing that it was spam? | ||

Is the subject line relevant? They often have quite poetic jumbles of words... Did the subject line insult you? Relevant who it was addressed to? Did this insult you? Did you only get insulted after you read it? Did you know it was spam when you opened it? | ||

Was the spam email offering a product? Money? Was it pretending to be from a reputable organisation? Was it aimed at getting you to enter your details somewhere? Was it a "Nigerian prince" style email? | ||

CLARIFICATION / Blooper : I said in the puzzle statement that I was insulted. However, this very much depends your definition of "insulted". So HINT: To clear all this up, the subject line was an insult, but because I knew it was spam, I naturally wasn't personally insulted. Indeed, the subject line gave me quite a different reaction. Sorry for any confusion | ||

Did you find the subject line funny? Did it contain an insulting description of the reader? Did you open it because you wanted to see what the content said? Did the subject line lead you to believe that you would find the email funny? Entertaining? Interesting? That something would happen if you opened the email? | ||

Was it a "Nigerian prince" style email? Ugg, sorry. Slow morning here... It is irrelevant what the contents of the email were. The subject line itself did not mention any of these things. | ||

Did the subject line say "This is a spam mail"? No. Remember, it was an attempt to be insulting, but instead I found it funny. | ||

Was the headline aimed at a specific gender? For example, it was about breast enlargement, and you found it funny because you're a guy? | ||

Was the headline daring you? Like: "I bet you donīt dare clicking on this link"? | ||

Well I guess this is enough for a *** SPOILER **** I got a spam email with the title "ltroxler you're an a**hole!". I thought it was was very original and hilarious. Especially since it used my email user name and not my real name. It was so funny and creative that I couldn't help opening it. | ||
