It is interesting to note that many of the advanced
features of MIME give spam points.
spam filter rulesets are typically derived from a kind of statistic
analysis of a group of messages that are considered to be spam.
the actual statistics that are valid depend upon the recipient. some rules
that are correct for the 'average' recipient will be entirely wrong for one
or another individual recipient.
hence one of the requirements for a serious spam filtering product is a
means of training the rules set easily -- where easily means easily for an
average end-user.
