I'd be happy if the spam filter ran the mail through a spell-checker. If it had too many misspellings, then it'd drop it as spam.
I guess that a sufficiently trained Bayesian filter approaches this (as the ham-database fills up with correctly-spelt words, and the spam-database collects their misspellings), but it'd be interesting to see it as a separate metric.
