Not wanting to end up in your killfile, but... what I've noticed is that I 
don't see any English-language spam at all on any of the lists. What I do see 
when periodically checking my junk folders for false positives is spam in 
Spanish, Russian, and maybe a bit of Chinese, French, and Portuguese. I don't 
say that to complain, just to observe. If someone more bothered wants to pitch 
in, download the last year or so of archives and knock yourself finding a way 
to extend the existing protections to catch non-English spam without, saying, 
deciding that posts containing patches are spam because they aren't in English.
