The normal reason for this is that you're running the message through
spamassassin twice.  The first run gets a higher score because it's
examining the headers of the original spam.  The spam is then
encapsulated as an attachment, and the second run scans the new
message.  The new message does not have spammy headers and hence gets
a lower score.

I'm puzzled as to how both got the FORGED_MUA_IMS, though, if the
encapsulation did happen.
