OK - I see this:
in PerMsgStatus.pm
in sub get_uri_list {
...
    while (/($Addr_spec_re)/go) {
      my $uri = $1;

      $uri =~ s/^URI://i;
      $uri = "mailto:$uri";;

      #warn("Got URI: $uri\n");
      push @uris, $uri;
    }

So yes, it seems to find any email addresses and add mailto: in front of
them even if they don't have it.

Is this right?

Here's my problem... a user creates a feedback message on a simple web
form - their email address happens to be something like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -
sure this could be a likely spammer email, but it's a response form - in
some cases this is the final count that causes the user response to be
classed as spam - I'm running a default install, and I figure that's how
things should be left for broadest compatibility with other systems - I
can't count on thousands of other sysadmins changing their scores to my
oscommerce receipts don't go on the toilet.

Is this the kind of thing that mail check-sum process is supposed to help
with (the one for 2.70) - if so, when would that be stable and where might I
find example code for computing those checksums in my mailers (oscommerce,
and webforms etc.) The site I saw referenced in earlier posts seems to talk
about it like an more like an intellectual project than a practical tool...
though maybe I missed something.

Any other references or pointers appreciated.

SpamAssassin internally converts email addresses into mailto:s, as far
as I can tell.  The code is in PerMsgStatus.pm.
