Which, of course, explains why he used JavaScript to obfuscate his spam, as it 
makes it *so* much easier to filter out.

One thing we could do would be to extract text bracketed by <SCRIPT> tags, and 
then see if there's a "document.write()" type call in it.  A document.write() 
JS call in an HTML mail message is even *more* dubious than just plain JS 
code.
