1. The man page for spamd should mention possiblity for localization, via the 
/etc/default/spamd file

2. The default /etc/default/spamd file should have an example of localisation 
(eg. LANG=fr in the provided file) to help users

3. On our system, the report mail is sent encoded in utf8 (which is right), but 
spamassassin is taking
the french texts from /usr/share/spamassassin/30_text_fr.cf (which is right), 
but that file is latin1
encoded, which produces a wrong result : a latin1 encoded e-mail sent as utf8.

Dirty fix : recode the 30_text_fr.cf file (which I did on our server)

Proper fix : spamassassin should be instructed that the file is encoded as 
latin1, read as such,
so that perl will produce the right encoding for the e-mail (perl IO supports 
lot of encodings).

The dirty fix can be used purely in Debian, the proper one supposes an upstream 
improvement (way
to set the encoding for a file that contains text that is going to be in the 
sent report).
