IMO that is PEBKAC. I know that elm lacks the concept of multiple
inboxes, however mutt and balsa, among others, allow a user to specify
multiple folders as receiving new mail. This makes it trivial to
notice new junk mail (whether really junk or not). This is little
different from having multiple addresses (whether email or
snail-mail). Anyways, I am my own ISP (at the mail level) :-).

Joey Hess posted a nice sample .sig a while ago. In just 4
less-than-80-character lines he managed a score of +25.42 with SA
2.01 on my system (he got -7 points for the subject too). He said it
got around 30 points on his installation of SA. If you're interested
in seeing it, let me know (and check your junk folder! :-)). I just
tested it again; 42.9 points with SA 2.11.
