I still have a headhunting agency who refers to me as "B42857". Apparently some bug is getting emails to me addressed to their internal reference number.

That really tells you what they think of you.

That's why they filter directly into spam.

In fairness they probably send the same emails over and over each day, and best case automating them could save a lot of time and let them send longer more comprehensive emails without having to type the entire message every time. But you gotta be careful and check your work.
