 Spam - without any cause

I am amazed by the volume of spam emails reaching my Inbox lately. I employ multi-level spam filtering. First, procmail is configured on my university mail account and then the filtered mails are forward to gmail for a second level of filtering. All said, I see sucessful Spam emails with totally garbled nonsensical messages with no referral URL penetrating these filters as the one given below.

I am a dolt. Needless to say. Missed out on one of the trivial algorithmic puzzle.

Q) Given a node in the binary search tree, each node has three pointers - lchild, rchild and parent and as an associated value, how would find the node
which was value immediately greater than the given node. (next largest).

Try out the algorithm and comment pls.
