The fact is was flagged was just an unfortunate coincidence; it may be more
use to see what you can do about your email chain (client, SMTP server) not
generating a Message ID, for example. As for capitalized words such as HTTP
and HTTPS, it was the combination with a slash that triggered a low score.
And only the combination of all scores would cause SpamAssassin to flag
messages as spam. Mentioning Python or Zope is a negative score, for
example. And we manually review all messages that score between 5.0 and 10.0
as well, to avoid missing false positives.

In short, just keep the name Pound. You may want to lay off on the triple
x-es though. ;)
