Years ago I looked at valid incoming email versus spam and realized that a simple grammar checker could catch the majority of it. At the time I didn't find anything, but DOS grammar checkers were available in the 1980s, so I expected some type of filter would be available to filter between the MTA and MUA.

Hmm, a quick web search shows a couple of possible candidates now. I might check them out if I get the urge to join some mailing lists again. I don't know if it's a practical method for filtering on a blog, but given the literacy level of the people who post here I would expect it would be very effective.
