TVD_SPACE_RATIO dependent on subject?
The people at work decided that the most convenient way to scan a document
was to put it in the copier
and hit the 'e-mail' key. They were annoyed that their scans ended up
marked as spam. I fixed some of
the complaints but I noticed an odd thing: if I changed the subject of the
message from 'Attached image'
to 'there's an image attached' spamassassin did not identify it as
TVD_SPACE_RATIO . Everything else
about the message was the same. How do I make sense of this?

We certainly
don't.'
We were concerned about scans sent to people outside the organization.

It would perhaps make sense not to scan internal email. We certainly
don't.

Quoth Theo van Dinter: 'The rule looks for a low ratio of spaces
to non-space characters.'
Curiously, it looks only in the subject, while the complaint is
'BODY: TVD_SPACE_RATIO'. Had the complaint pointed to the subject
I would have figured it out more quickly.
Thanks for your help.

The rule looks for a low ratio of spaces to non-space characters.
This subject has a low percentage of spaces to non-spaces ... 1 in 14.

This one is higher, 3 of 25.
