Okay, let's separate the two bugs.
Bug 6315 primarily focuses on spammy text in the From field.
Old name: "New spam type with drugs promo in envelope From: string"
New name: "Detect spammy words like drug promos in From: headers"
Bug 6317 primarily focuses on uri patterns in the From field.
Old name: "Enhancement: include sender text in the message body so body and uri
tests can scan it"
New name: "Enable URI testing in From: headers"
That puts half of the scope of bug 6317 into this bug without really affecting
this bug's nature.
As to this bug, I'm pretty sure Bayes can handle this, as noted in
bug 6317, comment 1 since (unless somebody corrects me) it tokenizes the
subject and sender items with special prefixes so as to differentiate between
them and the body. Therefore, it will be an annoyance at first, but the system
will eventually learn that those are spam. Just make sure you're training on
those messages.
Then again, we seem to find these rules worthwhile in the body (where they're
more common anyway), so perhaps this has merit after all. It should certainly
be noted that the rules in 20_drugs.cf are *very* specific and quite careful to
avoid drugs that are spelled correctly and in decent case. The rule proposed
by comment 0 head straight into that trouble.
