     Whoops... I missed that.  You're right.  Either speed up the
     IMAP server, or handle mail more quickly.  :)

     *grin*  Sure.  Everyone's always welcome to tweak things however
     they like.  Open source is good like that, and I didn't think it
     required saying.  :)

     My answer comes purely from a project lead standpoint, dealing
     with the core.  So let me rephrase:  if you want to patch your
     install or write a plugin to do this, great.  However, it deals
     only with spam filtering usage, and since the core doesn't yet
     have spam code, this shouldn't go there yet either.

     Better?  ;)
