Why did you modify it? Bayes zero should typically have a fairly hefty
negative score.



It seems that the art of "error and ignore" has replaced the art of 
trial and error.



Given the OP From display, we can only say: scream, eagle. scream.

No, it would not be over 5.0 if BAYES_00 hadn't been screwed with.
Because the default for BAYES_00 is a negative number, not 0.

This message adds to 8.9. Based on the scores of the other rules, this
is 3.1.x with set3.

In that set, BAYES_00 should score -2.599 instead of +3.0. That would
make the message score somewhere around 3.3 (I'm not adding all the
rules out to the thousandth, so I could be off by 0.1)

HTML_MESSAGE also should be 0.1, not 1.0.

The real score: 2.3.

While I do admit that the rules screaming eagle points out are a
problem, the shifting the scores of BAYES_00 and HTML_MESSAGE by a total
of +6.599 from its default is a bigger problem. (the 3 cited rules total
6.403 points, which is a smaller impact than the score fiddling has caused.)
