Note: Some recent Microsoft Office Outlook versions are including the X-Mailer header and also use the Content-Type multipart/mixed.

But groupwise.py only ask for:

        if msg.get_content_type() != 'multipart/mixed' or not msg['x-mailer']:
            return NoFailures

Any X-Mailer will do confuse it.

summary: - groupwise detector has wide false positives
