What is this?

In my reply to spam to stop sending me emails, I noticed I could see the following text, but only when I replied. Is this some kind of tag they use? Funny these coming from the place that it did:


><FONT COLOR="#ffffff" BACK="#ffffff">the river flow<BR>
>life skills should be taught at home and reinforced in the public
>schools to guarantee that earth's children are growing up
>responsiblycalm thinking helps mind<BR>
>it was the best of times, it was the worst of times but not one fine
>citizen knew the time because they could not wear their
>watchesturtles stay huggyhikes in the hills were good for his heart
>up until the day he keeled over dead<BR></FONT></HTML>

And just now I noticed why, the font is white. Gotta be some kinda tag.

First thing is never reply to someone that spams you. Never, ever unsubscribe if you didn't subscribe. This is how they build their list. As far as the reply being in white, it is probably just some malformed HTML that is causing it. Most of the time, they will put a small image in the message to tell when you read the email and if the address is valid or not. You can report the spam if they are using a major ISP though.
