That's American spam unless you know someone who goes by vivacious and
lives in one of the states covered by itcdeltacom.com
If you'd like, you can complain about 'vivacious' to
for sending unsolicited email against their acceptable Internet use
policy. If you do, send the complete headers.
Oh wait, nevermind, someone beat you to it. Vivacious had their plug
pulled just 4 minutes ago.

Long for the wakeful is the night.
Long for the weary, a league.

I got another also from an American IP. Why would that strip the
text? I mean surely it would be in Western encoded?

It happens the same way when a hillbilly messes up his computer too. The
To: addresses go in from a separate file, sometimes it's all that goes in.
The one you sent last night was like that. It was from a spammer so stupid
they got caught the night they started. Blackholed right after you posted
the headers here, plug pulled and all. I wonder how much they paid for the
domain name, it probably was enough for a new Mercedes Smart Car.
Just because the source IP is American doesn't always mean the spam came from
the US. It could still be from anywhere in the world by a bunch of different
means. The one last night just happened to represent a bonafide account
holder, a website that sent the spam out through one of their own
Internet service accounts, using their provider and host's mailserver, an
extra stupid spammer.
It would help catch them more quickly if you did what I'm doing, used a
munged From: with .invalid on the very end and then a valid Reply-To: that
goes through one of the spam filter forwarders, there's a number of them:

Even if the filtered address is never used at all, it helps build the
information needed to put spammers out of the spam business. Quicker.
