Junk mail with lots of short lines

My Boss is complaining of a large increase in untagged spam consisting
mostly of short lines, such as the one below.

Looking at the text, I noticed that taking blocks of 9 lines and
stringing them together, you get

Mereidia $9
Levitra $9
Etc

I am wondering if the text is that which remains after stripping out
HTML that uses some trick with DIV or SPAM to construct whole words from
the parts. Does that seem feasible?

Does anyone have any suggestion for how such spam could be caught?

Thanks
