Nonsense words in spam emails

Does anybody know the purpose behind the paragraphs of nonsense at the bottom of many spam emails. I see these all the time - I'm sure they must have some purpose.

Here is a cut & paste of one I received this evening:

open-chested crush hat grape tomato

From what I've heard, it's just something to help them bypass the spam filters.

It's to make the emails appear to be normal mail to spam filters so they can make it to the inbox.
Same reason they mispell things like Vi@gr@ or via gra. Many people set filters to catch the key words that are most often used so they mispell them to get by the filters.

Bayesian poisoning, I didn't know they actually had a term for it.

When I read the thread title I thought it was referring to the nonsense in the subject.

Like: Way cruise some haystack
Be neuter it's steeplebush
I read yat scrutineer
and finally, rerun fluid
