I've just received something similar, but with a different message body.

It matched both USER_AGENT_MUTT (-1.2) and USER_AGENT_OE (+0.2).  And
also like your spam, it had a date in the subject line (-1.6).  And an
In-Reply-To header (-0.8).

It got an extra +1.0 from my "claims to be Outlook/OE but message-id
is in wrong format" rule, but that still only took it up to 4.0.

I don't think it would hurt to do that.  No legitimate mail should
meet that criterion.
