You are probably right about the case of the From line.  FROM_NO_LOWER only 
triggers if no lowercase letters appear in the From: field, so it must have 
appeared as [EMAIL PROTECTED] when it hit SA.

header __HAS_MSN_FROM           From =~ /(?:hotmail|msn)\.com\b/

This test would match [EMAIL PROTECTED] but not [EMAIL PROTECTED] since the 
test is case sensitive, right?  Maybe it should be a case insensitive test, 
since [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a legal and deliverable address.

I tested those headers on my system (2.64) and did not get a match, 
however, that rule doesn't seem to have changed from 2.63 to 2.64.

My suspicion is that your MDA or MUA modified the From: header when it 
delivered. Notice that FROM_NO_LOWER got matched, but clearly the email 
address has plenty of lower-case letters in it.

I'm wondering if the original From: line did not contain an email address 
at all, but that was added from the envelope upon delivery since it was absent.

Thus:
         From: LUCINDA THOMASON
Becomes:
         From: "LUCINDA THOMASON" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
