Spamassassin is user-configurable, the default threshold is 5. Any message 5 or higher gets flagged. You, the user, can increase/decrease the default. The issue raised by the OP was why should SPAM be inserted in the object of an email.

Looks like that was it, sorry for bugging you guys on this one needlessly (but my hair was gettin' thinner by the minute...don't even know why that spam thing bugs me so much!) Anyway, I've received a few e-mails that were previously marked with this spam marking, that today do not have spam added in to the subject line.

Contact your ISP, they may be using SpamAssassin to flag ***SPAM*** in the subject line of your received email. Also, you may have a cpanel available at your ISP where you can adjust your own personal spam settings. -- Jay Garcia - Netscape/Flock Champion www.ufaq.org Netscape - Flock - Firefox - Thunderbird - Seamonkey Support ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
