Kmail doesn't show your email as having an attachment. Would that be the gpg?
At any rate, almost 99% of the spam I get is HTML, but I get your drift of
letting SA handle the catagorization of email. Like I said, I'm a total nube
at this, so I appreciate the tips. I'd also like to dump the false bounces
I'm getting flooded with due to the viruses.
I'm running unstable and my exim is version: 3.36-8.
