First, this rule might actually score some value less than 0.01, but
gets truncated here.  Second, this test might score higher or lower in
a ruleset other than the one you're using.  Third, some rules may be
given essentially zero scores because alone they don't indicate much,
but when combined with some other rule in a meta-rule could be a
stronger indicater.

Here I suspect the average of emails from this address is nearly zero
(or perhaps your AWL isn't working right?), though it should look a
little higher on subsequent emails since this one score a 5.1.
