Bug #: 6791
Summary: Misleading message implies all mail is spam

It is very easy for a user attempting to set up spam-filtering rules in his
mail client to open up a piece of known spam, see this string, and set up his
rules to trigger on it, not realizing that the same string also occurs in
almost every NON-spam message.
