I would be extremely happy to see SpamAssassin extended to recognize the routine, vaguely irritating spam that is attached to "free" email messages and the like. While it's annoying, it's a fairly common choice for people and, more and more, what the various mailing lists and the like I am on are using to fund stuff. So, I would be very pleased to see this done. Of course, I plan on building my own GA evolved scores from my 1.5GB body of mail, so it's not /such/ an issue for me. :) Daniel -- Impropaganda: Using propaganda techniques not in accordance with good sense, good faith, or good morals... methods not consistent with the American pattern of behavior based on Judeo-Christian ethics. -- Edward L.
