[Bug 5982] New: False Positive on DRUGS_STOCK_MIMEOLE rule

https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5982

           Summary: False Positive on DRUGS_STOCK_MIMEOLE rule

          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3

Example false positive hit on rule DRUGS_STOCK_MIMEOLE

I have what appears to me to be a completely legitimate mail message from a
person who has the following in the mail header.

  X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook, Build 11.0.5510
  X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1106

That is triggering both __MIMEOLE_1106 and __MAILER_OL_5510 which triggers
DRUGS_STOCK_MIMEOLE for 3.5 points.  That seems to be an overly agressive
combination.  Should the rule be double checked?  I raised this on spamassassin
users mailing list and was asked to file this as a bug here.

I have carefully sanitized the names and email addresses of other people in
this message so that this still is a good sample email for this problem but
doesn't expose real names or email addresses.
