I found the same thing today - I couldn't believe some ph4rma-spam made it to my inbox.

I think Ruth has a good point - this much HTML for so few regular characters should raise a red flag.

You don't need to decode it. Just assume that someone who tags texts character-wise must have some fishy buisiness going on! Same as with setting the text color to the background color or using an above-avarage number of punctuation in HTML/text. Real people don't do that...
