Andrea adds: I had to chuckle as I turned from reading this erudite discussion to the 21st century version (for a very different purpose) of pseudo-text in my spam file:
Ezjceadjhilj Hjgihiauu Ideqsucq Furuyvotju Ypyuxevqv Bjxydy
Yhjlef Emeyljq Iybyz Serurqnolqk Pafeuhjdi Jxyav
Ajxeug Qkacynjwyy Busqf Njselqihji Nqrqf Iobykjxo
Haiqjtqfu Iafewqh Xoenavucawq Ecymunocqciw
There is indeed nothing new under the sun.
