You sure have a knack for making foes. :)
But seriously, the comments about the top-post were not out of order. In
fact, all is part of the same thing: the idea that you need to make a
minimal effort yourself -- before you elicit help, and whilst getting it. :)
I say minimal, because even if you took few steps to investigate the issue
yourself, you are at least required to provide those you seek help from with
a half-way decent description of your problem + environment; like what OS
you are running, how spamassassin is invoked; and, if possible, indicate
what specific test(s) you ran that causes you to believe spamassasin is the
culprit.
If you show a great unwillingness to do even as little as the above, and
top-post with the rude comment that people are just too lazy for not trying
to unravel the now broken natural flow of the thread, then this really just
adds to the irritation people are feeling over you, apparantly, not wanting
to accomodate people in any fashion, while you ask plenty in return.
It don' work that way. :)
As for your problem, I have yet to hear any coherent description of it.
Other than a vague claim that some HTML messages get mangled, but not all, I
have not heard much else. Have you sent yourself an HTML message? Or a MIME
encoded one? See, there are plenty of simple tests you can perform that will
help you narrow down the problem.
Little jabs, such as I have seen you make, that it is really others who are
posting off-topic, or who refuse to do their homework, they are easily
spotted for the sour grapes that they are, and help you not. You made a few
boo-boo's. Not a big deal, really. You got frustrated, and spewed some
unwarranted stuff. Been there, done that. :) But only a fool persists in his
folly.
