A reasonable seeming (to me) fudge would be to take all rules that are duplicated between versions, and move the scores 50% toward the 3.1.0 scores. The mass-checks that SARE uses includes a section up front that lists "ham flagged as spam by this mass-check" (false positives). Those of us with the flexibility can then pull your 3.0.5 onto our system, run a full mass-check, and see what FPs pop up. That might help you fine-tune. Note: I myself will be on vacation shortly, so my system might not be available for that purpose. Bob Menschel
