Hello list,
I'm back with another puzzle. This time about kmail (the version in 3.5.13.2).
I recently changed my ISP and the new one has an option to filter the mails with spamassassin. I am starting to receive more mails that spamassassin forwards with this header:
*************************** X-Ham-Report: Spam detection software, running on the system "<my isp>", has identified this incoming email as possible spam. The original message has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label similar future email. If you have any questions, see root@localhost for details. ***************************
These mails are *not* spam but probably some sort of html/mixed html messages. The good point is that the mail is turned into plain text, the problem is that such mails don't quote the message when replying...... As far as I can say this only happens with such fowareded mails. I'm considering turning off that spam filter (I have spamassassin running localy and I use an external service), but maybe somone understanding kmails internals better than me can give an advice?
Regards,
Thierry

Spamassassin is moving the message body to an attachment. I think most (maybe all?) email programs don't quote from attachments, so I don't think it's a kmail problem.
You might be able to adjust the sensitivity of spamassassin so it catches fewer or no non-spam messages. That would usually be done on your ISP's website.

Yes, that's what I thought. However, both spamassassin on my machine and at another ISP don't do it: they simply add their "suspicion" in the header (that I can filter later with kmail filters).

Yes, it's in my "cpanel", but I don't have time to look in spamassassin's settings now. I turned it off at my ISP for mow.
Thanks for confirming the origin of the problem.
