Hey wait... this has come up repeatedly. With a well trained bayes, you should
still have good odds of catching these. There are enough words that will ONLY
show up in spam, PLUS THE OTHER characteristics of the messages to detect
"spammy" messages. And the add-on rule sets should add even more teeth as new
techniques evolve.

I wouldn't give up just yet, but maybe modify how I train bayes.

Do you have any example messages handy?
