as i understand it, fuzzyocr -- which runs with v3.1.x ("SpamAssassin 3.1.4 or higher")-- specifically relies on priority to ensure that it runs 'last'. do i understand you correctly that it, then, has no effect with v3.1.x? (seems to be working on my system ...)
As for what's in the devel branch, well, that changes regularly. If you're using development snapshots, you should be comfortable reading the source code, so that's where you should head.
i'm not using the dev branch/head. i'm using a svn co of the 31 branch, which i understand is the 317 release, plus bug fixes etc. thanks.
