The attached header is pretty much complete, I just replaced the username
with xxx and yyy, simplified Subject, and dropped local Received entries.
Unfortunately there was no X-Mailer or User-Agent header field.

Indeed there was no (optional) space after the To: . The message is a
user registration procedure confirmation, apparently generated by some
automation scripting or some HR management software. Body is all in
ascii plain text, doesn't reveal much of its creation procedure,
just states their Users Office contact address, a password and a
few instructions.

Not sure if I can reveal more of the message beyond what was attached.

I'm not complaining about each of these three rules scores individually,
but their cumulative action seems excessive for a simple unusual formatting.
