Some feedback: I have taken this rule out here; too many false-positives.
I discovered, for example, that the following line from a Linux email list
posting will hit the rule:

[root@d209-121-129-174 mplayer]# gmplayer test.mov

It turns out SA will turn the "root@" part into a mailto: URI even though
mailto: isn't actually present on that line (that isn't an email address):

debug: Ran uri test rule FCS_URI_NODOTS ======> got hit: match='mailto:root@d209-121-129-174'
