Serious, yes, but I cannot reproduce these problems.  --lint works
fine on the files I uploaded from here.

How did you retrieve the files?  Is it possible you had a line break
where none was intended?

These aren't problems that should be affected by SpamAssassin version,
so I'm guessing the problem is primarily with your method of download
or of saving the file after download.

Attached are my originals. If you compare these rules with what you
have in your download, do you see a difference in line breaks?

That was the problem yes.  Thanks very much for the suggestion. The 
strangeness was that I used identical retrieval methods for about 4 
files and only the two mentioned had any issue.  In future I shall 
stick to downloading the files to a local file first rather than 
display them in a browser window and edit from there to their 
destination directory.

Not a line break difference but a slight text difference.  Bit strange, 
but I'll be more rigorous about my download methods now.

thanks again.
