ewmayer used the allied font colorization. Here comes the German one:

It's no spam, its an early form of cyber-sex. What was it called? ERECMA?

Thanks for the alternate encryption, hhh. The genius of this encryption scheme is that multiple spam messages could be encoded using the same innocuous-looking text string. In response to the question as to why ze German Unterseeboot Kapita"ns vould using der English font-highlighting to selling die magical Torpedo-festening (Erektionssteifermachen) pills, it's really rather obvious - their, um, "target market" was der schlappschwanzige British Offizier corps. (Which reminds me of a sehr witziger Joke: What happens to der amorous Britischer Offizier mit der steifen Glied when he runs headlong into ein Brick Wall? Why, he breaks his upper lip, of course, ha ha ha!) When your typical British Naval Officer in WW2 talked about "protecting allied shipping from German torpedoes," you know what he was really talking about, wink wink, nudge, nudge, say no more. And like they say, the best defense is a good offense. Realizing that their enemy was plagued by feelings of sexual inadequacy and being desperately short of, um, hard currency, the Germans devised a subtle and devious scheme to market some novel recent breakthroughs of their pharmaceuticals industry (which alas happened to be more useful for making love than war) to the allies, all whilst maintaining complete deniability on both sides. Sheer genius!

Yes, it's a VERY silly Friday in the ol' mersennforum Lounge...

It looks like this; looking at the stats, the output has multiplied by about five today.Soon, we will be able to decrypt the other two messages, in English, German and many other languages.

my future project, (very very future) will probably be about Multimagic square or something similar, as implementation difficulty.
Of course if you have other proposals (but simple to implement) tell me.

I think that will be better implement something for BOINC platform.
