The next version of Pine (4.51) has a new feature called

In short, and using language from legal analysis metaphorically,
Message-ID's that do not conform to the recommended syntax are
well overrepresented among spammers, and underrepresented among
legitimate correspondents. And I score the mail accordingly.
Thanks dman. I'm going to forward a copy of your message to the
Pine team -- hopefully they'll at least put a warning about
spam-detection tools in the Help on this feature.
From your headers:
Message-id:
<Pine(_dot_)OSX(_dot_)4(_dot_)50(_dot_)9(_dot_)0212101317170(_dot_)274(_at_)bpnyubfg>
I might as well have added, btw, that mail whose composing MUA
indicates pine is also underrepresented among spammers; and
were it to become an issue, I would score that accordingly, as well.
:-)
