Use of CSS in spam mails...

I just got an interesting spam message. It's an HTML e-mail that uses the CSS "float" property to encode its spam. Essentially, the text of the message is written like:
 

B<span style="float: right">!</span>U<span style="float: right">l</span>Y <span style="float: right">i</span> <span style="float: right">a</span>M <span style="float: right">m</span>O<span style="float: right">-</span>R <span style="float: right">e</span>E<span style="float: right">&nbsp; </span> <span style="float: right">k</span>B<span style="float: right">n</span>E <span style="float: right">u</span>E<span style="float: right">j</span>R!

Yes, you saw that right: This is two sentences intermingled by alternating characters from both messages and writing one backwards, then styling the backwards sentence's characters as float: right. The end result looks like the following:
 

B!UlYi aMmO-ReE  kBnEuEjR!

Anyone know whether there's a spam filter yet that can decode that and detect it as the text it actually contains?

Justin writes: I found the same thing today - I couldn't believe some ph4rma-spam made it to my inbox. I think Ruth has a good point - this much HTML for so few regular characters should raise a red flag.

Or E-Mail Uli privately.
