Ah, got it... you like nice, integer spam scores, and interpolated 
percentages.  However, just so we're on the same page, your percentile 
chart does not answer your question "what % of my mail hits a certain 
score"... that's not the definition of percentile.  The spam score 5 in 
your chart maps to percentile 24.81, which means that 24.81 percent of 
the values were *lower than score 5*, which of course is not the same as 
saying score 5 was hit 24.81% of the time.
