What are the pros and cons of training bogofilter with virus emails?

1.  Does it fill up the wordlist with unneccessary tokens?
2.  Does it prejudice bogofilter against all emails that have executable attachments?
3.  What about polymorphic viruses?
4.  How accurate?  How many instances would it need to be accurate?

Questions like that...
