There are 3 more quoted-printable attachments in the message.  When passed through 
/usr/local/bin/spamassassin directly, it produces the following report:

SPAM: -------------------- Start SpamAssassin results ----------------------
SPAM: This mail is probably spam.  The original message has been altered
SPAM: so you can recognise or block similar unwanted mail in future.

If I pass just the first *3.6k* of the message (just the stuff shown above), it scores 
8 points (only the WHOLE LINE OF YELLING is omitted).
