Because they fit not on these messages. In the default installation are not 
much rules for these messages.

1. Use bayes filtering. Train the message with sa-learn --spam ...
Next time bayes filtering will detect this type of messages as spam.

2. Write your own rules for this type of messages or look for rules on 
rulesemporium.

Try bayes filtering. Train at least 200 ham and 200 spam messages with 
sa-learn.

That's a very good idea. Sometimes the magic eye works, but mostly I forget 
where I put it down. So please give as much information as possible.
