While I never had the entire message scored as 0.0 I often had detailed
scores of 0.0 even though the total score appeared to be correct.  I just
never bothered to try and find the fix.  This was consistent over several
SpamAssassin releases.

I had always installed SpamAssassin from CPAN.  I installed 2.60 from the
tarball and the scoring suddenly corrected itself.
