I don't think this is related to tor. It seems someone harvested
your email address from the status page and send you some garbage. I
have seen this form of spam as a part of a multipart message where
the plain text is used to confuse Bayes filters.

Maybe the spammer misconfigured his tool.

Why would anyone send just a couple words? Because they can I
guess....

Cheers,

Christian
