None that made it through my spam filters, at least.
I reject all mail with spamassassin score higher than 8 outright.
I deliver stuff scored 5 to 8 so folks can check for false positives.
The spammers are getting annoyingly sophisticated, though, since
spam filtering has become so prevalent.  They no longer seem content
with the low hanging fruit.

I got mail yesterday that looked like it had taken a bunch of phrases
from recent stories at cnn.com and jumbled them up randomly.  Then the actual
spam part of the message (promoting some OTC stock) was an attached .gif.
