*sigh*

I don't know how they manage it but MS seems determined to do the
strangest things.  A customer using MS Outlook 2002 sends himself a
message with no subject and only the words "Hi there" and it manages a
score of 5.084:

FROM_AND_TO_SAME_5                      1.314
HTML_70_90                              0.947
MSGID_CHARS_SPAM                        0.108
MSGID_CHARS_WEIRD                       1.598
SPAM_PHRASE_00_01                       0.781
SUBJ_MISSING                            0.336

A couple of these are going to happen with any client
(FROM_AND_TO_SAME_5, SUBJ_MISSING).  But only MS Outlook 2002 can manage
the others with so little content.  The raw message is quite amazing to
look at, with only 2 words worth about 8 bytes we end up with a 3KB
message.  Clearly that leads to triggering HTML_70_90.  The MSGID_ rules
are triggered by this amazing oddity:

Message-ID: 
<!~[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I don't know what triggered SPAM_PHRASE_00_01, probably some strangeness
in all the tag nastiness.

Fun, fun, fun.
