------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2004-12-22 08:20 -------
I appreciate the fact that the highly fleible options would allow me to do 
what I want to do. Unfortunately, my ISP only supports specifying an altered 
subject, so I can't do that. As Spam Assassin grows in popularity, more and 
more users will not be configuring it themselves and will be using an ISP's 
installation, perhaps with minimal options like mine provides. And, yes, many 
of those users will be using Outlook, but the same problem would occur with 
any email client that showed a short preview. Making default options that work 
for more users without configuration makes sense.

This isn't about configuring just for Outlook. It makes sense to put the thing 
that users want to see most as early as possible in the email. Look at it this 
way:

If users DON'T open the email, the format doesn't matter at all.
If users DO open the email, it does not make much sense to put the same, 
identical text at the beginning that users (or programs) have to skip over. It 
would be more readable to humans in the other order.

The result can look just as aesthetic pleasing as the current default (if we 
ignore the argument that no spam is aesthetic pleasing).
