Discussed here earlier this week. Fixed in r1926179.
See https://lists.apache.org/thread/yoy3n75p9jg9zmj54sz8plz3zkzwy7zv for 
that earlier discussion

> It's also strange that it starts with a _

Yes, it was supposed to start with __. It does in the pending update 
currently working its way through Rule QA.

No, because it has a "tflags multiple" line. The output of `perldoc 
Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf` is full of such useful details.

The proper rules in the fixed version are:

	describe        __SCC_HTML_ODDDIV8      Idiosyncratic HTML structure 
used by spammers
	rawbody         __SCC_HTML_ODDDIV8      /<DIV>\&nbsp;<\/DIV>/i
	tflags          __SCC_HTML_ODDDIV8      multiple publish
	describe        SCC_META_ODDDIV8        ODDDIV8 is most odd many times.
	meta            SCC_META_ODDDIV8        __SCC_HTML_ODDDIV8 > 10
	score           SCC_META_ODDDIV8        2 #limit
