I can't release the whole mail without getting permission from the
sender, of course, but I have extracted some of the parts that cause
backhair to trip up and obfuscated the content. I've also added the HTML
header that was at the beginning: it doesn't trigger any backhair rules
but may be useful. Hope that's enough to illustrate the problem. I've
put the output from feeding it through "spamassassin -L -t" at

Ignore all rules that triggered apart from the backhair ones, as it
wasn't a "real" e-mail that I fed in.

It looks like the sender was using Word to edit the e-mail. The problem
seems to be caused by some Smart Tag thing, together with the fact that
Word is trying to use XML stuff which doesn't stick to the standard HTML
tags. It's strange that there are tags around single letters, generally
"l", but if Word's HTML generator is creating that then I'm not
particularly surprised.
