Mail Scanner and Spam Assassin report generation

[brichter]

Is there any possibility it could still be added?

It is available in the stand alone Spam Assasin.  If it's off by default
then it's not really an issue.  And couldnt it be tied  to SPAM and HIGH
SCORING spam?

So like in a situation like mine, where I am going to continue to delete
automatically "High scoring SPAM" which is over 65% of our 110,000
messages a day.  Standard SPAM which would probably only be like 3% would
take the IO hit?

I understand fully the reasons and if message headers were preserved in
Outlook I would say it's redundant.  But they are not, and most places out
here use Outlook and like the other gentleman mentioned, it really is a
support issue trying to get a non-technical person on the other end to
read header information to you.

I sent another message to the list yesterday.  I can't even get attachment
deliver to work properly on High Scoring Spam.

Is the function of attachment deliver to take the SPAM, attach it to the
warning message and deliver it?  I just get the original SPAM with the
subject field forwarded with no attachment or warning message in the
current stable version of MailScanner.  If the attached SPAM (once I can
get that at least working) has all the headers for failure.  Then at least
that can be forwarded properly.  I am trying to find a way to work around
this..

Thanks
