"body" unfortunately doesn't come out as a single string for the whole body.
It is broken into sections at seemingly random and indeterminate places. This
makes an attempt to match across multiple lines fairly improbable.

Subject: BODY rule fails with double-spaced text
The doc for BODY rules says "All HTML tags and line breaks will be removed
before matching". I was also told on this list that multiple whitespace was
compressed to single space characters. So if I have text like this:
xyzzy
abcde
and the following rules:
body T_LMRTESTB1 /xyzzy abcde/
body T_LMRTESTB2 /xyzzy\s{1,4}abcde/
then both rules will match. However, if the text is double-spaced like this:
xyzzy
abcde
then *neither* rule will match, even though I would have expected them both
to still match. Is this a designed feature or a bug?
