I have been receiving a spate of short messages that don't seem
to trigger enough default rules to be knocked out. I was
investigating and noticed a discrepancy [bug?] in the rules.
One particular email refers to the uniquely Male-Body-Part starting
w/"P", let's call MBP for purposes discussion.
It gets hit by a '20' rule for body parts in the message body,
but I noticed it doesn't get anything for the subject:
"Want a Bigger MBP?" A '25_replace' rule is present for "fuzzy"
MBP's, but doesn't seem to catch unfuzzy ones.
So I guess questions might be:
1) should 'fuzzy' rules match non-fuzzy targets as well
as fuzzy ones?
2) Should there be some "normalization" adjustment for
short messages?
I'm thinking a "scale factor" rather than an absolute score
to add, -- reflecting the general idea that short messages
are not bad, but if you are scoring on the "bad" side, a
multiplier (ex. 1.1 or 1.2) would increase the score of a message
that is already being sized up as "bad".
Does SA support any multiplier type rules? Should it, or
rather, do people feel this is a good idea?
i.e.: RULENAME *1.1 (0,*1.1,0,*1.1) type format?
