No, it seems to be more generic than that.
I got the opposite result with a randomly picked SPAM mail, though. I
got a *higher* score with it converted to DOS format from Unix. That is

Maybe the message body needs to be converted to a consistent line ending
format before tests are applied to avoid this sort of false miss/hit
pattern?
