A hidden message in spam?

Here’s a strange one. When I launched the Unix terminal application this evening it told me I had mail. So I checked it and there was a single email in the inbox. When I read it I found this curious string of words included in the email’s html coding:

chlorine libertarian sheaf articulatory eastwood =
manslaughter
dodecahedron convolve conservatism downright suffragette =
give
penicillin toni oblivion rubicund profit =
dugan
math mot mutt riddle alternate =
inure
legging profligate appointe epicycle blackbird =
soluble
rousseau kipling difficulty johann indestructible =
derate
baxter gogo coulomb ignominious bryce =
allegiant
formate ewing precipitable hydrothermal port =
bop
notwithstanding integrity bostonian conductor obscene =
axiomatic

So I launched mail.app and read it in the usual way and discovered that it was yet another piece of spam trying to sell me Viagra and other various pills. It looked like this:


So I have to ask you, Mariano Benavides (marianobenavides@dietreminder), what does it all mean?
