BTW, it's important to note that this is *not* the case.

When a spammer adds random dictionary words to a spam as a bayes-buster,
those words will be quite rare (since people don't generally use *all* the
words in their language very frequently).   So they'll most likely have
never been seen before in the user's training.  Words that are not in the
training database are ignored.  So the bayes poison in that case will have
no effect.

What the spammers *should* be doing is figuring out what each recipient
email address has in its training db, and use that text instead. ;)
