I doubt I'm the only one seeing this phenomenon. I'm interested as to
what kind of effect this will have, if any, on SA's scoring/bayes
analysis of mail?

There have been MANY discussions of this on this list recently. In short: these probably flag a message as spam. Bayes is (hopefully) tund to YOUR patterns, not any specific word list. If words are used that are NOT part of your normal patterns, they tend to indicate spam. Careful training is required.
