Actually, something I've noticed is that otherwise legitimate-looking
email frequently gets tripped up by an ad tacked on the bottom of the
mail -- this happens with mailing lists trying to support themselves,
but also with things like Yahoo mail or hotmail inserting their stuff at
the bottoms of messages.  I've been trying to think of a way to spot
those "semi-spam" sig's and not score them as high, without giving an
easy way for spammers to sneak through.  Any thoughts?
