Description Dru 2003-12-26 05:27:42 UTC 
A lot of spam messages I'm receiving at moment have key words broken up or
alternative charaters used.  I would suspect about 50% of the words are not
under the english language, normally while emails dont have perfect spelling
they do have good spelling. I have yet to receive spam in a langauge other than
english so as long as the test make sures there are at least some english words
are present and if over a certain threshold are spelt wrong then it should give
a score to it. 




forge there content by using l33t speak as well as invalid charcters in the
message. If a email is mostly spelt correctly

spell checking is horrible as a spam indicator, and we already have language 
detection.  this has been discussed a lot on sa-talk and in other bugs.  closing 
as wontfix.
