expedia emails broken, anyone got a contact?

getting lots of (I would assume) important non spam

Subject: Itinerary -

emails from expedia. probably not forged, not spam, but their emails are 
atrociously formatted. (non RFC compliant, broken, etc)
even if the date header wasn't non standard, it would still be almost a 
FP. another .2 points for bayes and it would be.
(and the to == from is because they let the web users send out itinerary 
notices from themselves, to themselves)

Except that 0.8 is the default score for BAYES_50 under 3.3.0 and 3.3.1...

Agreed that's not a good idea.

It's autopromoted from my sandbox. I suspect it's hitting because of the 
poor Received: headers that expedia is generating.

Bayes 50 is neutral and you're scoring it at 0.8?

is TO_EG_FM_HTML_DIRECT a standard rule? I've never seen it.

There's 2.5 of your problem right there.
