This is a battle that cannot be won. Eventually, the spammers will 
write snippets of Javascript to self modify email messages. I can
imagine a piece of code which transforms the phrase

Good morning to you.

into the phrase

Make money $$$ fast. 

No filter can become a combined HTML, Javascript, Flash etc. interpreter.
This may be a case where the MUA developers must take responsibility
and disable code in email messages.
