Matt, 

By "There is a rule in SpamAssassin that looks for the string "NextPart" in a
MIME boundary." I assume you mean
header __NEXTPART_ALL           Content-Type =~ /NextPart/
which is a non-scoring rule, simply detecting whether that string is present.
It's then compared to other tests, and a spam-score is applied only if multiple
tests hit.  Because of this, I don't see any problem. 

If you can show us a non-spam that was flagged as spam because of one of these
rules, then we have something to fix.  Can you attach such an email to this
report, with full headers (preferably including the SA results)?
