Hi, actually, I just discovered the reason SA doesn't properly scan
this spam. The spam body is inside a multipart/alternative section,
but Content-Type: header in the first part is malformed (has a leading
semicolon). Deleting the extraneous semicolon makes SA work as usual. 

This does make the spam non-displayable in mutt (and probably many
other mailers as well), because the multipart/alternative section
won't parse. But I suspect it may work in *some* mailers, so it ought
to be fixed. 

Suggestion to SA upstream developers: maybe have SA fall back to plain
text scanning if a multipart/alternative section fails to parse? It
seems risky to assume that spam always comes in well-formed multipart
sections. (We all know how well spams conform to RFCs.) This would've
caught this particular spam.
