SpamBayes doesn't see an email message the way you would, after your mail
program or web browser renders portions of it.  It sees it as simply a
stream of words.  So if the message contains something like this:

  <span color="white">The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.</span>

the HTML tag gets stripped out and it processes

  The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
