It doesn't seem to cause too much damage - there is a tiny number of SA
rules which check MIME message structure and HTML structure which can
cause truncated messages to gain only a point or so. A plausible way to
fix this would be to add a marker to a truncated message which is spotted
by some SA rules that compensate for the truncation score penalty.
