Danger? SpamAssassin doesn't detect dangers, merely patterns that match
what spammers have been known to do.

CTYPE_001C_A is looking for a particular mime boundary commonly seen in
spam, but rarely in nonspam. (99.7% of emails in the corpus that matched
were spam)

However FH_HAS_XID is more troubling, it's got a strong score, and a
poor S/O. (78.6% spam). That's pretty poor poor performance for a spam
rule with a score of  aproximately 2.4.

All it's looking for is any message with and X-Id: header.

I've opened a bug to get the devs to discuss modifying or dropping that one.
