While this is verging off our remit here, I would clarify the point
originally made, which is that if a URL - that is, a URL cited in the

that signals a high probability of the message being spam.
Altho this is probably not true if you're one of the billion or so people who 
live in or around China or are of Chinese origin.. 

Actually mainland chinese non-spammers seem to prefer offshore hosting eg 
hk, taiwan, japan or north america.

I guess all the mainland chinese webhosting is all taken up by spam 
operators or something.
