I am using this one, but not because of spam, rather when I have to
forward email and don't want to disclose email addresses of related
parties.

(defun remove-emails ()
  "Removes all <example@example.com> emails from buffer. At some
occasions user may want to forward email messages from other
people without revealing their email addresses. mutt email client
usually displayes email addresses in this format
<USER@EXAMPLE.COM> and all such addresses may be easily removed
with this command."
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (let ((match (re-search-forward "<.*@.*>")))
      (replace-match ""))))
