That's fine as a DIY option. Pure Lisp is more portable, easier to extend and customize by novice users, and integrates better with the rest of Gnus. I think this would be an especially important feature on platforms like Windows, or in situations where a user can't easily insert headers in mail received (IMAP on an inaccessible server, for instance). I may be wrong of course, but Lars was the one who started the spam.el work, so maybe he should weigh in. Ted
