You have confused me no end now.  What is this magic string-pair,
QCPC|HPGI, that you have been searching against for eight years and
that the OP also wants to search against?  I have no such string in
any of my recent spam, and I have been examining spam for years and
have no a-ha moment about those particular strings with regard to
spam markers.  What the hell?

My guess is that these are junk stock ticker symbols some enterprising 
individual is attempting to generate a rush on, so that the value rises and 
then they can pitch a bunch of worthless shares at a tidy profit. I expect 
there is minimal value to matching for those in the long term because 
they'll just be replaced by some other stock.
