WTF? How are you sending your mail Tony? I only have SpamAssassin 2.55, 
and maybe it doesn't know about the latest OutLook and that's why it 
triggered the FORGED_MUA_OUTLOOK rule.

How about it Tony? Can you configure your Outlook to be plain text only? 
Or at least have it include a plain text copy[1]? Or have MS taken away 
more of those annoying choice thingy's with the latest version.

[1] I know that this makes the message more than twice as big as it 
should be with one copy being redundant.
