One thing that happened when I moved to Europe and started doing business in Germany is that relatively soon I began receiving spam in German (which seems to have quite different content, and sales strategy, actually, perhaps reflecting cultural differences in the manner of buying and selling between the anglophone world and Germany). Trying to separate out what "in" Europe means in this case seems to come down to having given out email addresses to web sites and collegues in a different language environment rather than physical presence of either myself or my mailserver in either North America or Europe. I guess the German spam I have been receiving is only european in that German speakers happen to be mostly in Europe, which is not true of English speakers. I wonder, is the (English language) spam set that one is likely to receive in Australia statistically different than what one is likely to receive in the US? -w
