One thing though, with Spam-assasin 5.0 the original message is
untouched. No changes, munging, tagging, &c are done to the original
message. All that happens is that e a new message envelope is wrapped
around the original text. Open up the attached message and your original
email is there, pristine and unsullied.
Not everyone agrees that this is such an excellent solution. Some PC MUAs
for instance save attachments as _files_ outside of the mailbox file, and
in any event, they require additional manipulation, whereas header tags at
are fairly benign changes (esp, IMO, if the X-Spam-whatever has a domain
component, so that headers inserted by an upline provider aren't
interpreted as the ones inserted locally).
I'll contribute that merely as a suggestion for anyone adding spamish
headers to their messages (using procmail) - you should make them site
unique, so that forwarded messages don't appear to have already been
filtered _according_to_the_rules_of_the_recipient_site_. If anyone wants
to debate the merits of SA, it has its own discussion forum I believe.
