IncrediMail?
has anyone got a good corpus of mail from this mail tool?
I hear many anti-image-spam rules have a tendency to FP on its
output and I'd like to try to avoid this (where possible).

How about calling it "a waste of resources"? It'd be *much* better to
reject IncrediMail at the MTA level using milter-regex et. al. on the
User-Agent: header.

False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real
advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would
take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown
in it; that has no remedy for evils except destruction. The laws
that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They
disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit
crime. -- Cesare Beccaria, quoted by Thomas Jefferson

Yep, among other things it does. I'm not so certain that I would call SA
hitting an Incredamil message as an FP. I guess it depends on your idea
of Spam ;^)

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?
Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.

Btw, this incredible mailer is also the one which leaves
empty lines (TAB only) in the header when it tries to wrap
a long header field such as Subject.

It may not matter, but if you provide unlimited free tech support as we
do, Incredimail is a drag on your staff. Luckily we now only have a few
users with Incredimail. We had over a thousand, and we had calls constantly.
As an ISP we stopped supporting Incredimail years ago. When it fails to
connect, looses mail, smokes a pop box, gets it's messages tagged as
Spam, we suggest installing Thunderbird and thank them for calling the
support line.

There is no such thing as a false positive on Incredimail. I am quite
pleased to have it relegated to the spam bucket.

Hmm, I wish I had, but yes, I do agree with the fact that alot of mail
generated from this tool are being classified as spam.
