I've attached the spam clues (post training, it originally scored 5%)
for one of the messages below. 

There is a lot in there that scores as hammy, but as you said, training
should eventually take care of that. Maybe it's accidental that I'm
getting quite a few of these recently, but it seems statistically
unlikely that their nonsense would score hammy as repeatedly as I've
seen (maybe a dozen in the past few days).

One of the most innocent tokens is a .org URL, which I thought were only
supposed to go to not-for-profits. Did somebody fool Verisign or
Register.com during the domain registration process? Or can you get a
.org domain from those fly-by-night registrars, too?
