It would be indeed a spammers dream to get a way to fool the worlds best
spamfilter, but I don't think we are that far ;-)
Maybe it's a technique that works on EVERY Bayesian filter ?

You certainly had a look at the sourcecode of this htmlmail. Wasn't
there anything that looked odd?
Maybe it's a nice idea to provide such a mail to everybody interested.
Nooo, not by mail. Do you have any webspace where you can deposit an
anonymised version of that mail ?
If not, you may send it to me (by notifying me in another mail of this,
spammails get read directly), I'll offer it for download.
