Yes but there was no pgp attachment to Alices mail and whilst I'm quite
happy to suspect Google's spam filter was just being over-zealous, it is
extremely unusual for that to happen and other occurrences have been

Here's the main headers from the mail that got tagged as spam by google :

Now, one thing I noticed that jumped out is that Alice is using a special
char in her name, which is often going to flag things up, but in contrast,
one of the other messages had the following headers and wasn't marked as
spam :

Note that the X-lug.org.uk-Spam-Score was exactly the same, but the
X-Cloudmark-Analysis header has been added - This again could be something
