Not scoring on attachments in body

Not scoring on attachments in body

[Max Froumentin]

Hi,

Currently it seems that scoring on the body of the message goes
through the entire content, including attachments. I score up on the
string "max" which surpringingly occurs often in binary attachments,
something I'm not interested in.

I wonder if it could be made optional to include attached content
from body scoring. Or perhaps optional only on text/*, while any other
mime type would be skipped.

This is probably somewhat tricky compared to the current scoring
mechanism, and it's not a strong requirement as far as I'm
concerned. But if someone gets round to doing it I'd be most grateful.

Is there a list of feature requests or planned enhancements somewhere,
by the way?

Cheers,

Max.

The body scoring code is pre-MIME, really, and needs some work to be
brought up-to-date.  In particular, it shouldn't score on anything but
text/* parts, and it should do qp/base64 decoding before it scores.

Not one being actively maintained.
