ANSI Text Spam

I received this little message in my in-box. It was not marked as spam.

In the old days of PCs, before the advanced graphics cards that we had today, people often created pictures using colored letters arranged in ingenious ways. Getting this spam made me miss the days where the PC was basically a slow fancy calculator.

I wonder how the filters will catch this type of message?
