[PLUG] Spamassassin Mangles Messages

Bonjour,

Normally I don't care what my SA-tagged messages look like because
usually, they're spam.  But sometimes a PLUG message gets tagged,  and
when it's a multipart message, it will often get mangled, as the example
below.  I'm wondering why that is, and how I can fix it.  Do I need to
disable my SPAM:-prefixed message altogether?

Merci bien,

--Jason V. C.


Example of SA-mangled message:

SPAM: Hi, this is Jason V. C.  I've installed a spam filter on my server,
SPAM: which has managed to identify this email as spam.  That's why the
SPAM: subject begins with "[spam]".  The idea is that you can now set up
SPAM: a single filtering rule in your email client such that, whenever
SPAM: it sees "[spam]" in the subject line, it would move the email into
SPAM: a separate spam folder, thereby getting it out of your face so you
SPAM: can read your REAL emails in peace.  You could also tell it to just
SPAM: delete the message, but I'm not sure I trust this spam filter that
SPAM: much.  It may be wiser to keep them around, and then scan through
SPAM: them every once in a while before deleting them, just in case
SPAM: there's something you actually want to read.
SPAM: 
SPAM: Anyway, I hope this makes your life a little better.  Email me if
SPAM: you've any questions, of course.  Just don't include a lot of HTML
SPAM: or special offers for penis enlargement, else (hopefully) it'll end
SPAM: up in my spam folder and I won't notice it!
SPAM: 
SPAM: The original message follows, if you want to look at it.  Cheers!
