Yes, it was meant to be easy, because it is basically a slightly 
disguised SPAM message.  There was nothing "pythonic" about this puzzle 
at all, except a rather routine piece of code.  If I has bothered to 
'decrypt' it, I would be pissed.  (Reminds me of little Ralphie, in "A 
Christmas Story", waiting weeks to get his secret decoder wheel, only 
to find the secret message is 'Be sure to drink your Ovaltine')
