Last comment from my side - what I'm having a bit of an issue with is
this seemingly arbitrary substitution of '^' for '@', and that the rule
that is desribed as "Message seems to contain rot13ed address" expects
this, but couldn't actually catch anything that _was_ rot13'ed. 
The only other rotNN I know of is rot47, and that doesn't turn an '@'
into a '^' either.

Very true - for me, the focus has already shifted to the issue of
embedded uuencoded files, which I think is more critical.

Certainly.  I was merely trying to bring it others' attention that this
rule in my opinion has a much too high default score, and it does more
bad than good.
