           Summary: Unescaped '#' in rawbody causes havoc
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.0.0
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamassassin
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bugzilla-spamassassin-org-reg@f2.org


A rawbody rule with an unescaped '#' causes other rawbody
rules matching non-empty patterns to fail, and rawbody rules
matching an empty body to succeed.

The documentation at
http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.0.x/dist/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html
says rawbody takes a "Perl regular expression".  In a normal Perl re,
the '#' character doesn't have to be escaped.

Could someone clarify whether this is a bug, or if the documentation
should carry a warning about esacaping the '#' in a regular expression
