If thats the case, the effectiveness of having split the bombRe and bombHeaderRe is seriously diminished. The header and body contain information that are of exclusive character sets.
Perhaps I was mistaken in how I thought the two worked - but if thats true, I would really like to see them split to be used separately against the two exclusive portions of an email (headers and body). It would make blocking for particular types of content much more effective.
