The basic problem here is that there is no information about how the 
"scores" are calculated.

What they really need to do is to allow the user to provide an external 
program which can give the mail system advice about where to put 
incoming messages.  I want to interface ifile (Bayesian filter program) 
to the system, but there are no hooks for it.

How do I enable mozilla to use the advice of ifile 
(http://www.ai.mit.edu/~jrennie/ifile/) to move messages to the 
appropriate place?

The real future of spam processing is ifile, and ifile allows automatic 
classification of incoming mail according to more categories than just 
spam/no-spam.
