MessageI'm not using SpamAssassin's Bayes yet, but considering implementing
it.   As you all know, the problem is that most spam deliberately tries to
mess up the Bayes engine by including lists of words buried in the message.

This strikes me as a pretty effective way of circumventing bayes.  Is it
worth bothering with?
