Note the random words within the <font> tags at the end of the spam. I think they lowered its Bayes score, which dropped it below my threshold overall. That, and the lack of any other text aside from the links...

Is this tactic likely to succeed for them, rendering our Bayesian classifiers ineffective? What do you think?
