Hi all,

I know everyone is sick of hearing about complaints about the habeas fiasco. 
(I know I am)  But ... a recent habeas spam landed as FN with a score of 4.8.  
what's interesting is that it only scored a BAYES_50.  That's because the 
habeas headers had been learnt as primarily ham so far.  My question, should 
bayes ignore the habeas headers by default?

I tried to remove the habeas headers mannually, and the spam came up with a 
score of 21.7 instead, with BAYES_99.  My understanding is that (at least 
currently), habeas is not a reliable characteristic of Spam or Ham, there is 
no reason why the spammer should be able to defeat both mechanisms at the 
same time.

Thanks,
Pedro
