It's possible that the HTML parser needs some work to exclude HTML-hidden text from the BODY text.
For this particular message that wouldn't help - the big block of "invisible" text is explicitly included in the plaintext message part; it looks to me like the spammer screwed things up by dumping a large block of visible garbage in the middle of the plaintext body. It impedes scanning but the recipient probably isn't going to scroll all the way to the bottom to read the end of the pitch.
However, if I manually fix the plaintext part the "invisible" text is still rendered into the body text from the HTML part, so that's still a potentially viable mechanism to impede scanning, assuming the plaintext version is not the same as the visible portion of the HTML version (i.e. the plaintext is missing or isn't spammy).
