This ruleset went off hard on an email advertising airfare from a major provider. While the spamminess of said email is open to discussion, it is something to watch our for. Every airport has a three letter short name that hits on these rules.

I installed them early this morning and they caught one of those spams
loaded with gibberish. I had rule hits for a couple of screens. If I
remember, each was for 0.08 but the total score was around 24. There were
some other hits too but your rules made up the majority of the score.
Thanks for all the good work!
