Having a CERN email address was a magnet for crackpot emails. I did keep some of them though. I too found them fascinating to a point. I had a folder called "Mixed Nuts" where I saved some of them.

Pretty much everyone ignored them, so one guy started to send emails impersonating famous scientists recommending his work.
