It is a help : if only to calm me down and think more logically -
sometimes it can all be a bit confusing :( Especially with this new
default spam process which has replaced spamassassin - it wasnt
immediately clear to me wither this spam.el was compatible with
spamassassins x-headers etc etc.
Maybe one last answer (which may or may not be in manuals) : I use
posting styles to maintain different email folders - is it trivial (before I
start wasting time trying) to configure spam.el to move the "mark as NOT
spam" to the correct procmail populated maildirs in gnus?
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
