SpamAssassin tagging incorrectly

Spam detection software, running on the system “ds00209.nozonenet.com”, has
identified this incoming email as possible spam. The original message
has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn’t spam) or label
similar future email. If you have any questions, see
the administrator of that system for details.

8.5 AWL AWL: From: address is in the auto white-list

The original message was not completely plain text, and may be unsafe to
open with some email clients; in particular, it may contain a virus,
or confirm that your address can receive spam. If you wish to view
it, it may be safer to save it to a file and open it with an editor.

If its in the auto-whitelist, why does it have 8.5 points counting against it? This isn’t the first message I’ve seen like this.
