That algorithm won't find the following (because "spamcake" appears two lines
later not one line later):

or the following (because "spamcake" appears in the rare alternate form
"spampucks"):

I'd like to also point out that you aren't matching the string "when replying".
Perhaps that would be more reliable. Tom started doing the spamcake sigs around
the third week of April 1999, and I haven't yet found a post-April-18 message
that didn't have "when replying". You could special case the third week of
April and use the "when replying" test for everything since then.
