I think I've exhausted my search on Google and the archives for this list.
I have an ISP that does SpamAssassin for my email, which then I download via
POP3.
I use Outlook 2000, which I know can filter the emails too other folders,
etc, based on the SA headers.
What I would like to be able too do, is see the score in it's own separate
column (preferable that could be sorted by).

Does anybody have a COM add-in or VBScript to do this?
I get about 200 pieces of spam a day, and I hate the idea of not searching
through the spam folder for potential false-negatives, but I also hate
searching through that many emails (especially if I don't do it for a couple
days).
200/day ... sounds about right. I have 1,612 SPAM so far for the month of
May.
My feeling is that this "chore" would not be so bad, if I had a visual clue
as too what SA thought about the email. Sort it from lowest to highest, so
therefore, more likely any false-negatives comes near the front.
Knowing the SPAMassassin score might not help ... why do you expect to find
any
correlation bwetween score and either false positives and false negativews?
I have some messages from the SPAMassassin lists that got analyzed
(somehow, my whitelist settings got ignored sometimes) -- and of those
(28 messages out of ~1600) some got scores as high as 13.9 ... OTOH I
have seen unflagged SPAM with scores as low as 2~3.
Try this ... sort by subject and eyeball through the list
Sort by sender and eyeball through the list
That should help you spot important nail.
Sorry if this has already been brought up. Hard to search on such common
words as outlook, spamassassin, score....
Thanks, Chris Hale
