Can somebody tell me the point of these emails

You must know the kind I mean, I keep getting them as posts on a group I moderate. It reads like a bad play or poorly written short story: They are nonsense, meaningless , with paragraphs like:

Joan: I am goingto put a most solemn question to you. Cauchon enters through the
same door with a Dominican monk and acanon, the latter carrying a brief. Nay: I
am no shepherd lass, though I have helped with thesheep like anyone else.
Therefore you must be on your guard against your naturalcompassion. The justice
of the Church is not amockery, my lord.
I am a hotheadedfool; and I shall be damned to all eternity for it. They look at
one another for a moment with unconcealed hostility. You have spoken for me, and
spoken better than I could.
That does not seem to me to be consistent; but ofcourse I agree with your
lordship.
It is an oldsaying that he who tells too much truth is sure to be hanged.
The Inquisitorpurses his lips and frowns.

I just keep getting more and more of the same, its not like SPAM where someone is trying to sell something or promote porn sites, they just go on and on in this same vein , nonsense stories strung together, jumbled segments of plays and tales.

I get them from time to time, (I've got at least one sitting in my gmail junk folder right now actually), they usually have a legit sounding subject title, but are full of nothing but meaningless garb. and they usually have a .gif attatchment. I'm assuming their sole purpose is to send viruses via attatchment. I can't say for sure as I've never opened any of the attatchments.
