I keep finding these when I least expect it and they've been fantastic every time - it usually means whatever I'm trying to automate is 90% solved for me.

Scraping recipes from the bbc, flight reservations from my email, etc. If something includes schema.org/RsvpAction it probably needs to be actioned, if something contains schema.org/DiscountOffer it can probably go in the Noise folder.

If someone starts sending spam containing flight reservation meta I'm going to be so sorely disappointed in the human race.

I've gotten spam calendar appointments that my email client has helpfully added to my calendar so that I'm helpfully reminded of their spam sometime in the future with a push notification.

Good grief that has to be confusing. I'm often temporarily baffled by legit entries when notified, letalone strange or unexpected spam entries :)
