It will always be optional. Also note that the old default was the same way (except that the old defaults of "report_header 0" and "mime_defang 1" made it difficult to get at HTML email, blah blah blah). I usually run SA without the body reports (I know what the rules do far better by their names than the descriptions, anyway), although I've been using the new report format to help test it. I'm even looking into making it possible for the terse report format to be even more terse than it is right now (maybe "use_terse_report 2"), something that would just leave out the X-Spam-Report: for people who don't want the long descriptions and so forth. > [...] I'm also not totally against the new method, I just think it > would have been better off by default so people could ease into it. > That's what I'll do with some of my savvier users and see how they > react, but most of them are happy with SA's current behavior. Changing from the old default safe way (MIME defanged) to a new unsafe way (no safe report) would probably have gotten us shot. This was the closest mapping of body reporting behavior we could reasonably manage with the new method. :-) This was not exactly a seat-of-the-pants change for SA. It took us months of working on the patch, testing, and discussion. It seems like our biggest mistake was not mentioning the change in more places.
