Last meeting I was talking about spam with excerpts from novels in them,
so they would avoid filters looking for phrases. Of course I had just
deleted the spam I had, and none with excerpts came in until today.

Here's what it looks like when I read literate-spam in Pine:

You'll see that even the subject line has an excerpt in it.  My .procmail
filter still got it, because the message isn't addressed to me except in
the .bcc field.  Nobody I know does that legitmately, so it still seems
like a good way of filtering stuff.

Cheers,

James
