I recently received some personal mail with the following
HotMail-generated ad. at the end (linebreaks are mine):

    <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>MSN Photos is the easiest way to
    share and print your photos: <a
    href='http://go.msn.com/bql/hmtag3_etl_EN.asp'>Click Here</a><br></html>

Here's the SpamAssassin report:

    SPAM: Content analysis details:   (6.17 hits, 5 required)
    SPAM: Hit! (1 point)     BODY: Contains 'Dear Somebody'
    SPAM: Hit! (0.01 points) BODY: Asks you to click below
    SPAM: Hit! (1.8 points)  BODY: Tells you to click on a URL
    SPAM: Hit! (1.56 points) Contains phrases frequently found in spam
    SPAM:                    [score:  26, hits: click here, that can, that]
    SPAM:                    [you]
    SPAM: Hit! (1 point)     spam-phrase score is over 20
    SPAM: Hit! (0.8 points)  Forged hotmail.com 'Received:' header found

The author did indeed write "Dear Nick" (1 point); everything else
seems to be from the ad. I don't know what the forged received
header thing is about; the headers look kosher to me. I don't know
where the "that can"/"that you" come from - they aren't in the message
itself.

Anyone else getting HotMail messages tagged due to advertising?
