Oh, I didn't mean that, in fact I use the Emacs CVS a lot.  I was just
out of the ding loop for a while, so I didn't know the right way to
implement changes like this.  Sorry.

The differences are pretty major, and I would actually like to bring
the CVS version of spam.el and spam-report.el over to Emacs CVS.
There's a lot of bug fixes, but no new features and no bug reports
with the CVS version of spam.el/spam-report.el for a while now.  Is
this possible?

That being said, Chong's version of the manual looks good after a
first read.  I will probably suggest minor changes here and there, but
I am really glad he wrote something better than my original version :)
