what does "ham" stand for? What's it's origin?

If you know exactly what spam is, you should be able to figure it out. Spam is a kind of low quality canned pork meat product. It was used for spam after a Monty Python sketch where someone trying to tell someone something normally was drowned out by shouts of 'SPAM SPAM SPAM!!!'. Ham is usually a higher quality pork meat product. The use of spam (for fake email) led to ham (for real email). It is a kind of joke.
