well, the idea is to trick bayesian filters and to do that the spam needs to
contain content that is normally found in ham.

how do the spammers determine what ham contains? for my mum it would be
chocolate mud-cake receipes. for my sister it's movie reviews. for my
grandma it's the dangers of redistributing OSPF routes into BGP.

in the end of the day spam is about sending millions or billions of items of
UCE so that 0.1% will get delivered and 0.00001% might respond. as long as
the "detraining content" is likely to match someone's ham, spammers will try
it.

but to specifically answer your question: only if you brushed your teeth
with your left hand this morning.

cheers
