I received one of those "Investor Spec Sheet" spams that managed to score
virtually nothing, so here are some slight corrections to rules that would have
helped:

OLD EXCUSE_16:
body EXCUSE_16                  /received this (?:e?-?mail|message) in
error[, ]* or/
describe EXCUSE_16              I wonder how many emails they sent in error...

NEW EXCUSE_16:
body EXCUSE_16                  /received this.{1,10}in error[, ]* or/

This just looks for 1-10 characters between "received this" and "in error". The
message I received today simply said "If you received this in error".

OLD EXCUSE_14:
body EXCUSE_14                  /you do not wish to receive further /i
describe EXCUSE_14              Tells you how to stop further SPAM

NEW EXCUSE_14:
body EXCUSE_14                  /(?:you do not|no longer) wish to receive
(?:further|mail) /i

This accounts for the variation "you no longer wish to receive mail" - it could
just as easily be a separate rule but they are similar.

Also, assuming I'm not the only one who receives these "Investor spec sheet"
spams regularly, perhaps a rule for them?

body INVESTOR_SPEC_SHEET     /Investor Spec Sheet/i
