For a while now I've used Gmail for most of my email and have had very
little spam from them. What has come through Thunderbird has learned how
to sort it into the trash.

But a few weeks ago I noticed I was getting considerably more spam from
Gmail. It went from maybe 1 piece a day to 10-15. Strange. I wonder if
Gmail's spam detection is broken? The spam doesn't seem special in any
way...

Basically, there is not too much which you can do if there is so much
spam which looks like normal email that the spam filters are being
unlearned.

Yeah, but this started all of a sudden making me think something was
broken. Some newbie Google code monkey left a ; out somewhere, etc.

If it were python, it would not matter as Python does not have any ;
delimiters.

My "etc" covers all possibilities.
