Van MS scan for spam in other languages?

[Steen, Glenn]

There's a lot about spam that isn't really bound to language... Common
"faults" due to tools used, "tricks" employed etc. And MS&SA seems to
be very adept at finding all those. And the RBLs and digest tests
aren't really bound to language either.

That's why I've seen at least _some_ swedish (and spanish, I think at
least:-) spam get caught.
The volume of "localized" spam is to low to make any projections on
how well it does this though. I'm guessing this might change in the
future;).
