You should probably split that sentence into one or two statements followed by a question, preferably with a bit of contextual quoting above it so we know what the hell you're referring to. See below for more discussion of why you were rightfully dinged for top quoting. > And I know for a fact SA is doing it to the mail as it was running fine for > over a year till I installed SA, and it was working fine after till I turned > off defangmime. Hmm. It's still not clear what your operating environment is (e.g. operating system, MTA, method of calling SpamAssassin, means of mail delivery, SpamAssassin version.) You haven't really given anyone any specifics on how your system is set up or how it operates, or on the problem messages and without any of that it's highly unlikely that anyone could help you, even if they wanted to. > You sure have an attitude. Given that you're the one asking for help, perhaps you ought to just think that rather than actually writing it. I can't see how that remark gets you any closer to a solution. > If you don't like how I post then don't read it and dam sure don't reply. > > I asked for help not your opinion on my posting methods. Top posting is fairly universally frowned-upon and has been for a long, long time for very, very good reasons. It shows a lack of respect for those that respond to you and implies you couldn't be bothered to read or respond to the specifics of the previous post. It also makes following the train of logic more difficult for others who might want to step in and help, and wastes bandwidth and reading time. For more background on the problems with top posting, see: http://www.html-faq.com/etiquette/?toppost http://www.dickalba.demon.co.uk/usenet/guide/faq_topp.html http://web.presby.edu/~nnqadmin/nnq/nquote.html http://www.google.com/search?q=top+quoting+posting+FAQ In short, A. No. Q. Does top-posting make sense? > If it stresses you that much don't respond, and do us both a favor. IIRC, you're the one asking for help. If you think that you'll get better answers quicker by not posting a shred of diagnostic information, specifics of your local environment, or steps that might allow other to reproduce what you're seeing, and by insulting people on the list, well, it's not the method I'd choose, but it may work for you. Seriously though, if you're not getting the answers you want from this forum, perhaps you could create some test messages that cause SA to fail in the way you describe and post those. Or better still, read the source code, find and fix the error and send in a patch.
