Except possibly don't use the word "spam", or anything else that is liable to trip SpamAssassin and friends into giving your messages a high score (so references to abdominal anatomy and cable tv decoders are also probably unwise :).

I'm frequently surprised that more people don't run their (legitimate, opt-in, whatever) bulk mail through SpamAssassin before they send it in order to see how spam-like it looks. I'm forever having to pick itineraries and electronic tickets from airlines out of my spam folder.
