Is anyone else getting "targeted spam"?

This is something new (and definitely not exciting). We all know that we get spam, some of us more than others ;-) But lately, the spam that's trying to sneak its way through almost looks applicable, with subject lines like "Fix your documentation", "get Help now", "need help with documentation", etc.

I catch it before it gets to my system by using MailWasher, which lets me preview my incoming email. (And Spam Assassin is running on the server, which catches a lot of the other stuff.) Now that spammers are back to sending attachments (like gifs), I like that I can delete it right from the server without taking any chances.
