They are enormous at the moment but I can post a small sample version . My 
sample is set to use spamassassin (spamc) but I catch 90% of my spam 
before it gets to spamassassin.  I filter on Subject, From, To, 
Received, or the message body for various strings, with wildcards allowed, 
and send matches to /dev/null or $MAIL or a spam folder.  spamassassin 
assigns points for ALL CAPS, ALL HTML, being on spamcop list, no subject 
line, forged received, etc., and catches a few things my other filters 
missed, but it is slow.

I dump anything with certain HTML tags (3D, embedded images), KOI8-R, 
Windows charsets (after whitelisting friends who use them).

All people ever send me to back-translate are the very complicated ones, 
with tables, other charsets, etc.  Drug package inserts or labels or 
questionnaires or forms with images in them.

How big?  People are willing to send me pdf files instead, but I cannot 
type on top of them.
