    Kmail doesn't show your email as having an attachment. Would that be the gpg?

    At any rate, almost 99% of the spam I get is HTML, but I get your drift of
    letting SA handle the catagorization of email. Like I said, I'm a total nube
    at this, so I appreciate the tips. I'd also like to dump the false bounces
    I'm getting flooded with due to the viruses.

    I'm running unstable and my exim is version: 3.36-8.
