Dear Lazyweb, is my spam a ciphertext?

[ostraya]

I got the following message as spam. I'm 99% sure this is random spam noise, but I'm curious to see if it translates to anything. I *think* those are largely real words with other stuff stuck in, like thiskioqlceremony. Anyone feel like making sense of it or pumping it into a decryption algorithm for fun?

Those remaining double ffs are strangely suspicious... but it still doesn't really look like keyboard pounding. I wonder if those letters are a reasonable approximation of a pure random distribution? (darnit, now I want to make a graph)

Pumped it into a counter, and it looks pretty evenly distributed:
