I do know, from looking inside the email, that these use an imbedded image and a whole bunch of garbage text below the image that changes with every message.  SpamBayes does not look at imbedded images so each message gets a more ham than spam weight and is not picked up.  I would venture to say these messages were designed to defeat SpamBayes...

Subject: [Spambayes] Unwanted stock solicitations

Hi,
 
I've been getting lots of supposed scoops on cheap stocks (19 cents) which are supposed to skyrocket tomorrow. Spambayes had not been able to filter these out although it has done wonders with Viagra, cheap drugs, etc. So I decided to reconfigure the software by accumlating hundreds of Emails with this cheap stock junk included. After retraining, it has still not been able to detect the junk stock emails. Any suggestions?
 
Thank you,
