considering I have no idea how to do this....  or where to even begin
looking in the code.

But as it was explained to me by a friend, the idea is that spammer
URI's would change a lot less often than the textual content of their
messages.  It would allow things like the bigevil list to flow more
naturally into bayes filters, since domains that spam would quickly work
their names into the "naughty" token list (although this doesn't do much
good if the headers aren't added to bayes - I assumed that they were,
given the prominence of image-only spams these days, and how some of
them are getting caught by bayes).

Sometimes it's easier to ask a question than dig through someone else's
code, especially when it's a LOT of code and you don't really know what
you're looking for.
