repost - spamassassin - how to stop defanging?

[Sandip P Deshmukh <deshmukh@escortsmumbai.com>]

hello all

i have done man spamd, man spamc and man spamassassin. i have also done
man Mail::SpamAssassin::etc. none of this could help me solve this
problem. it is actually a problem of semantics - i think.

the default set-up of spamassassin changes header, etc. it also changes
attachment content type to plain text.

here is what man spamassassin says about this:

       X-Spam-Report: header for spam mails
           The SpamAssassin report is added to the mail header if
           the "report_header = 1" configuration option is given.

       Content-Type: header
           Set to "text/plain", in order to defang HTML mail or
           other active content that could "call back" to the
           spammer.

i would like spamassassin *not* to change content type. i have tried
report_header 0 in my ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs.

report_header		0

this does not help. i also tried:

defang_mime		0

as suggested by the solitary response to my earlier post. no use still!

any suggestions?

What does "it" mean in the sentence "What time is it?"?
