You could score on "body" and, er, blankness, but that would take a
while.

Gnus uses the contents of the Lines header.  So for mail you could
have a function run off of `nnmail-prepare-incoming-message-hook'
remove all heading and trailing blank lines, and then the Lines header 
should be correct, I think.
