[Spambayes] my pet theory on spam and language got proven today

Perhaps some of you have read my statement that not having English as a
native language makes spambayes more efficient (because most spam is in
English).
Today the opposite of my theory was proven: I got spam, the typical junk
with random sentences. 50% was in English, 50% Dutch (my language). The
message got trough, with a score of 0.15.
This only means spammers are getting "smarter" - or more likely: all kinds
of spam filtering serve as darwinian pressure on the evolution of spam.
