If the email doesn't bounce they know they have a "live" email address which they can then sell on to the Spam Merchants. The fact that you viewed it means you will now probably get tons of spam - hard luck.
You may also find that somewhere in the email is a one liner for porn or pharmaceuticals.
The random garbage put in spams is designed to defeat the filters most e-mail providers use to filter out spam before it reaches your inbox.
The spammer probably intended for this random text to be invisible (such as white text on a white background) but is probably too incompetant to get their HTML coding right.
And whatever you do ........ DON'T hit the "if you want to remove your name from our mailing list" link. Once you do that they know for definite that they've got a live e-mail address and you become an even more valuable asset for them to sell on. mad

Another possibility is that you were sent a virus, but the actual virus-infected part of the email was stripped out by your ISP, leaving you with just whatever gibberish was left in the text-part of the email.
