Could be an attempt to 'poison' Bayesian filters. If people identify
these messages as spam and use them to train their Bayesian filters,
more and more 'good'/'normal' words will get a high spamvalue
resulting in a higer rate of false positives.

Or maybe it was an attempt to bypass Bayesian filters and the spammer
just forgot to include an url.
