rule for mixed case URI scheme

[Daniel Quinlan <qu...@pathname.com>]

Something close to this will be in 3.1, so you'll want to remove the
rule then, maybe name it something else too.

  uri URI_SCHEME_MIXED_CASE	/^(?![a-z]{3,6}:|[A-Z]{3,6})[A-Za-z]{3,6}:\//
  describe URI_SCHEME_MIXED_CASE	URI scheme has mixed uppercase and lowercase

The mass-check results are good, hits about 1% of spam with basically no
false positives in 92,000 hams from 6 people.

Found a ham hit in a corpus I'm analyzing:

<a href=Notes:///8525679900664A0D/38D46BF5E8F08834852564B500129B2C/991A65E0B32F1E3385256F94004AC059>Link</a>

I'm guessing that's an internal link used by Lotus Notes.  A lot of
private information in the email, so it's not one I'm able to submit,
and I'm still not ready to rejoin the nightly mass-check.

Thanks for the heads up.  WI'll drop this into the SARE uri.cf update
expected in around a week from now, and we'll migrate it to an x31
(don't use with SA 3.1) file when appropriate.
