Kodak Easy Share Problem

It seems that email sent from Kodak's Easy Share software ALWAYS ends 
up with high marks and ends up in our spambucket.

They have particular problems with ChickenPox and HTML and Gratuitous 
encoding as shown above. A lot of our folks seem to get Kodak EasyShare 
email to send pictures and I was wondering if there was an easy way to 
down the score for this type of email. Here's the headers also:

(For other similar automated or listmail.)

If you can find some sort of consistent sender address, whitelist or
whitelist_from_rcvd that.  I've done that on the ISP filter server I
run.

Bounce copies of some of these to Kodak, let them know that *their*
customers are getting messages tagged.  Sometimes that alone can get a
company to change things at least a little.  That ISO-encoded subject,
for instance, shouldn't really be necessary- unless there are
international users sending mail with non-7bit-ASCII characters in their
subject lines through this service.  :/  (A fairly high possibility.)

Feed a few of these back to Bayes as ham!  Dropping this down even as
far as BAYES_60 (~1.6) would bring it back under the default threshold
of 5.  Without Bayes you're "only" scoring 3.5 or so on your example.
