Can anyone comment as to whether it makes sense to simply score these rules to "20-ish" as well? I naively am not aware of anyone ELSE sending me MIME encoded messages other than a couple of in-house scripts that i whitelist.
Your best bet is to run the scoring against your own collection of mail and see how it does. The scores are low either because they don't indicate spam that well, or because they're always seen in conjunction with other rules that score high.
I'm personally of the belief that any rule that never shows up in ham should have a minimum score of 1.0 -- especially ones that detect broken ratware.
