One of my other mailing lists got a 37 point spam the other day, so I
copied the SpamAssassin Report (the version in the header) and sent an
email on it's way. On the way back to me via the list, it was scanned
by SpamAssassin and got a 7.1, which is .1 over my 7 threshold.
Descriptions like 'Contains "My wife, Jody" testimonial' have the words
"My Wife, Jody" and will trip that filter. I don't think that spam
descriptions should be identified as spam traits. I wonder if there's a
way to describe the spam trait without including it directly?
I browsed through bugzilla, but I didn't see anything applicable.
Should I file a bug report? Is it too vague?
I removed the ugly headers...

I actually didn't know what you were referring to! Then I dug through
