           Summary: ok_locales documentation incorrect..
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.2.3
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mkettler_sa@verizon.net


in Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf:

"Mail using the *character sets* that are allowed by this option will not be
marked as possibly being spam in a foreign language."

That clearly sounds like a Whitelist, and should be revised.

A more correct statement would be:

"Mail using *character sets* which are not allowed by this option will
be penalized and possibly marked as spam in a foreign language."

Or is it really:

"Mail using no *character sets* which are allowed by this option will
be penalized and possibly marked as spam in a foreign language."


Note the subtle difference. but if ok_locales is "en" and a message matches "en
fr" will it be marked as CHARSET_FARAWAY? If so, then the second correction is
the right one to use, if not, the first one.
