Here's an example spam

Here's an example spam message from Jeremy Bowers [jerf.org]:

Subject: Re: Re: the proposal

That's a nice point, but I think you should consider the information 
at http://www.somewebsite.com/info.html before going with that 
approach. I found that information to be really pertinent.

Yes, indeed, this message would get past even the best spam filters that try to interpret the message's content, such as Bayesian-like filters.

On the other hand, this spam email would not have a very good marketing message.
