That reasoning is  undestandable. Now I will have to have separate vim

without driving altogether. :-)

One configuration for flowed text should be sufficient.

Anyway I think it is a bug in procmail. I saw someone complain in usenet too, 
but I couldn't find a resolution. Also he claims the configuration works on 
one machine but not on the other. So there has to be some problem with 
procmail. I changed spamassassin to 'spamc' and it works fine.

I'm suspicious of your -a flag -- it's not in my manpage.  Maybe you're 
using an older version of SA though.

Ok so I think I will just ask one question and go away.  I need to sort the 
spam mails into different mailboxes according to their score..

 Rule:

 If 4 <= spam-score < 5
  mail/mboxes/spam4

 If 5 <= spam-score < 6
  mail/mboxes/spam5

  And so on. That way I can schedule checking these mailboxes accordingly. 
The larger the value, the less frequently you check it - say once a month, 
and remove everything. I think something like this is needed, since the 
spamassassin is not very perfect, and the frigging spammers are now using 
random statements in their mails to confuse the spam blockers.

Count the number of *s.

  Finally the ideal solution for spam is not through software, but through 
hardware. As in, get a gun a shoot those f*cking bastards.
