That is an interesting suggestion, although most of the false positives
were not related to genetic specific terms. Solid blocks of ACGT do
trigger the whole line of shouting, but an empty Subject should
not trigger Subject is all in capitals. An e-mail with a base-64
attachment should not count as spam with no other trigger.
I also had one e-mail that triggered the ascii form and whole line
of shouting, where I cannot see a whole line of shouting and I have
not yet had time to work out what triggered the form, but it is
not obvious to the beginner (me).

All the best
