True. However, most mail to this mailinglist has less than 0.001 spam
probability. As you can see, this one had 0.048 - a vast score, almost
enough to put it in my unsure box. It seems to be just not hammy enough.
It's interesting to see that no none of the foul language words used by
Xah Lee ever occurs in any spam I receive - spam is not that stupid.
