That's an excellent idea.  I could actually make the bogofilter (spam)
score one of the items you can print out in the summary buffer for
each article (so you would put it in the formatting string).  But then
it would be slow to display a summary buffer if the bogofilter score
evaluation is slow.

So, my question is: can a formatting parameter in the summary buffer
be "lazily" evaluated, so it's "N/A" until someone explicitly asks for
the spam score of the article?  I hope I'm expressing myself clearly.

This would be a cool thing to have, I think.
