!!Spam
Any email that is encrypted (that you can decrypt of course...) is unlikely to be spam -- spending time encrypting the same message for millions of recipients costs the sender far too much in CPU time. Any encrypted email is obviously important and personal.
You can also use the web of trust as a way of figuring out who spammers are. If the email you recieved is signed by someone in your web of trust then they are unlikely to be a spammer. If it turns out that they are you can set their level of trust to "none" and perhaps lower the amount of trust of everyone who signed their key. A spammer will have a hard time finding people to sign their new key every time they want to send another email.
