Anyone speak Portuguese?

I just got an email as follows:
oi mary craford eu gostaria de avisar que tem algumas fotos do seriado hercules que so está aparecendo pela metade ok !
I don't speak Portuguese, so all I can tell is it's something to do with Hercules photos. If it's spam, then it's remarkably specific spam.

Can anyone translate?

I just got a spam from "Cynthia H. Buttock."

I know, that's not much help.

That's just kind of wonderful.

Babelfish (babelfish.altavista.com) renders it as "oi mary craford I would like to inform that he has some photos of seriado hercules that so is appearing for the half ok." And Google Translate (translate.google.com) renders it as "oi mary craford I would like you inform that he has adds photos of seriado hercules that so is appearing will be the half ok."

Which may or may not be any help...

*grins* Yeah, I tried Babelfish already, but it seemed to lack a certain something.

Maybe he's wanting to sell me photos, or something...

Maybe he's asking if it's okay that he's using your screenshots on his site? Except he doesn't give a URL, so maybe he's asking if it's okay that he downloaded them? That's my best guess.

Yeah, there's nothing else except a name and a Brazilian email addy, maybe you're right and he's just asking permission to use the pics.
I just emailed back to say sorry, don't speak Portuguese...

And got a response - "mais muito obrigado pelo retornor ao meu e - mail ok !"

I think that probably means 'but thanks for answering my mail'. Heh.

Obrigado! I know that word. May be the only word I learned while in Brazil.

(grin). I don't speak portuguese - I speak Spanish. But I think your friend is trying to inform you that some of your photos are not loading completely. Forgive me if I am wrong.

Oh, I see, thanks! That's one option that hadn't occurred to me yet. I ran to my site to check, and so far everything seems to load okay, but it may have been a blip on the Squidge servers or just a slow connection.
