Either test grouping, or some way to limit the score of a filter that
increments, or someway to negate the whole filter with a test inside of
the filter. Something like:
SUBJECTEXEMPTCONTAINS?b?
That would keep your negation techniques from having an effect outside
of the test. I
Not bad. Makes me wonder if the future test grouping feature would be even stronger
with exclusive as well as inclusive grouping. Must have (1) and (2) but not (3).
That would rock! :)

Dan,
There's a decent way around that. You can set the test in the Config
file for a solid weight, not score each filter test incrementally, and
then provide a list of negative tests that would offset the test. So if
there is some sort of ISO tagging of this Japanese stuff, you can find
that

I'm seeing quite a few of these coming in, but they are getting held.
I'm including a sample from my log, which is set to HIGH so that others can
see what tests have been useful for me.
An interesting point that came out of my following this thread is that I
