This is exactly what I was talking about in a previous post.

If spammers start doing this and they make sure this bogus section is
larger than the actual spam section, the bayes filter will probably mark
it as ham.  What's worst is if you then force the bayes filter to learn
this as spam, now you just increased the spam score for each of these
good words.  If this happens over and over again, I would imagine that
the bayes filter would malfunction.  At least that's my opinion, but
feel free to disagree.

Thanks,
