Hello,
I AM MR SMITH TOM,  many of us who haves last names for first names and
vice-versa use this greeting frequently.  To think that someone would
arbitrarily mark this as spam....

This is perfectly understandable...however, when was the last time you 
seriously
typed an email that began with "I AM MR. SMITH TOM"  you might have 
said My Name
is....or something more natural.  However the possibility is there for false
positives so this might not be a good trigger for spam.

Just my thoughts...
Jim
