From man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf
body SYMBOLIC_TEST_NAME /pattern/modifiers
Define a body pattern test. "pattern" is a Perl regular
expression. Note: as per the header tests, "#" must be
escaped ("\#") or else it is considered the beginning of a
comment.
The 'body' in this case is the textual parts of the message
body; any non-text MIME parts are stripped, and the message
decoded from Quoted-Printable or Base-64-encoded format if
necessary. The message Subject header is considered part of
the body and becomes the first paragraph when running the
rules. All HTML tags and line breaks will be removed before
matching.
