But it is fairly generic text that a spammer can simply include in their
spam to lower their scores.  I'm leary about negative scoring like that. A
spammer could really just say it to score lower and not mean it.  Which
rule is it that says "Spammers lie."?  ;-)  If anything it would probably
make the message sound more legit to to a spam-illiterate person. "Oh well
if they really sent this message to thousands of people, I'd better click
the link fast to see if I win the prize!" or something like that.
