Haven't bothered with checking the headres to see if the originating sender is a subscribed user
Only the envelope sender needs to be subscribed, and only the suse list admin can see that. The mail sent out to subscribers have all that info stripped out
As i was saying, the mail is a testrun to be able so see if the mails get through to the list users. Thus "only" random, almost coherent texts. The next is probably some stupid "click here" link or something. Or even a virus/trojan aimed at MS.
The random text is an old trick to get past antispam programs. My guess is that it originally had an attachment with some virus or whatever that they hoped the user would click. SUSE's list server of course strips off all attachments, so we never saw it. At least that's my uneducated guess
