Summary: Importance of junk words

Initial Comment:
I have done some reading through the forum but I
haven't seen a discussion regarding the extra or junk
words so many spam messages come with these days.  They
are of course a blatant attempt to bypass spam filters.

To that end I think there should be a change, or
perhaps user configurable bias, as to how "new" tokens
are ranked in comparision to spam or ham.  I certainly
haven't done any studies but I know my database
contains most of the words I've sent or expect to
receive in an e-mail.  Any e-mail that contains a large
number of new/unknown words is almost certainly a spam.
 Some way to place a higher weighting on new/unknown
words would seem to be welcome.
