Today's e-mail mystery

[muckefuck]

I just got a letter in my mailbox that says, in its entirety:

From: Lanes D. Compartments <xxxx@niab.se>
Subject: Bonjour.

Hello, playmates! :)

Mar sin leat

I truly have no idea. "Mar sin leat", incidentally, is Scottish-Gaelic for "Good-bye". But who do I know in Sweden who speaks Gaelic? (Unlike almost anyone reading this--except keyne--I actually had to think about that for a bit.) There's no homepage for the domain and "niab" rings absolutely no bells for me. Is there any way to find out who it's registered to?

The 'c-67-165-64-78.client.comcast.net' just before *.go.com is some random broadband machine, making it almost certain that this is spam and all prior Received: headers are bogus.

Congrats! I only get spam in Russian and Chinese (apart from English). (I suppose it's possible that the Russian spam is actually Azeri or something written in koi8-r with some weirdo conventions for this missing letters, since I've never actually looked at its contents.)
