Well, given the number of simple code errors that crop up with every new 
iteration: changed variable names, spelling errors, misplaced spaces, 
and so on; it's been shown that Fritz has an unnatural obsession with 
code churn. Another 500k lines is nothing to sneeze at when you can't 
keep those 500k lines in good order.

The long and short of it is that "production ready" code doesn't have 
spelling errors. Fritz is a very talented coder, but he is careless. 
It's hardly a personal attack, but just a statement of the kinds of bug 
reports and fixes we're seeing on the list here.

Personally, I don't care much about winmail.dat conversion. It's a neat 
idea and would be pretty cool, but the highest level that it "ought to 
be" done in is the MTA. Fritz has roundfiled many other very good ideas 
because they were outside the scope of ASSP or became ASSP is simply a 
filter and not a store and forward system. Now that it is an issue that 
Fritz personally cares about (administration of a FirstClass server), it 
becomes a part of ASSP without question.

AV scanning and file type regulation is relevant to ASSP with the advent 
of PDF spam and ClamAV definitions that catch phishing/spam as well.

I'm just calling it like I see it.
