Whether it's "easy on the eyes", "not wanting for Mr Perfect" or "Mr Galaxy", these words and phrases might occur in any normal email message too. Yet a human looking at all of them in combination, and knowing (as you do) that it is not the kind of message YOU want, it's easy to recognize it as spam ... maybe not so easy for a computer. I'm sure there are people for whom this kind of message (not coming from an anonymous 'bot) could be normal and shouldn't be marked as spam. Anyone else have this problem? > I don't. But I did had a few periods when lots of spam got through, and it took a lot of 're-training'. You should check to make sure the sender's address is not in your Contacts, and that you don't have Filters that might force the messages to not go to Spam. When all else fails, you could construct a Filter that searches for the exact phrases and bad grammar you say most of these messages have, and either delete them outright, or (preferably) Archive them and give them a specific Label. Then periodically review the contents of that Label to make sure nothing "real" was inadvertently caught by the Filter.
