You have two instances of SpamAssassin scanning the message in sequence. The first adds the body report and makes a new message that doesn't have the same headers as the original (those are in the attachment which is the original message). The second instance only scored body hits, therefore the score is lower. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
