There's also the problem which SARE has run into in many of our
obfuscation rules, where they hit beautifully on English spam, but
have horrible S/O rates for German ham (to pick an example).

That's why we use 70_sare_name_eng.cf files, to indicate that these
rules work well only on systems which expect almost 100% English ham,
and little to no ham in other languages.

I've begun to wonder whether it might be worth while having
50_scores.cf for English emails, and then 50_scores_de.cf for German
emails, and have SA pick the score appropriately depending upon the
language of the email...
