I'm not the Justin you're trying to talk to but I have an opinion on this
anyhow. :)  I'mm strongly against giving a postive score to ANY mail
client.  I'm against positive scores in general really.  They just open
more doors for spammers to abuse.  Everytime one of them finds a new
little trick like forging a certain MUAs header traces, a new version of
SA has to come out.  In the mean time we admins either have to edit the
rules and remove the offending one, or our users have to suffer through an
increase in spam.  Positive scores are flawed IMHO.
