David,

Never mind.  I found in the logs where those tests you mentioned are giving
the email a credit (negative weight) and thus the total weight is adjusted
accordingly.

I have IPNOTINMX and NOLEGITCONTENT set up under HIDETESTS which explains
why the confusion on the total score.

BTW -- I would still like to see some people post their ip4r tests to the
list.  I have a hunch I'm missing some valuable tests in my list.

Thanks,

Dave
