This appears to have many (all?) of them just skimming by searching for “Subject:”.

At very least it has this one that has lived rent-free in my brain for like a quarter-century now:

Subject: Skul-gun

scum we all know pushes smack for NSF gets jumpy and draws. I take 2 .22’s,
1 in flesh, 1 in augs, befor I can get out that dam asalt gun.

“I meant,” said Ipslore bitterly, “what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?”
