Current iteration.  Recall this applies only to list mail:

    # Microsoft tnef docs:  treat as spam
    # Mon Apr  8 10:11:26 PDT 2002
    :0h
    * -2^0
    * 1^0 ^X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook
    * 1^0 ^Content-Type: application/ms-tnef
    * 1^0 ^Subject: *(Read|Not Read|Nem olvasta):
    {
        :0c
        | ricochet

        :0:
        spamassassin-autoreport/
    }

Also, note for incipient ricochet users:  be generous with your skip-lists.
Include ***ALL*** mailing list hosts (do as I say, not as did...).

The tool generates rather more broadly than I'd prefer.  But it's among
the better alternatives.

Peace.
