[Philipp Snizek <ps...@seaan.net>]

Hi

Content analysis details:   (3.3 points, 3.0 required)

When adding Points I get a total score of 3.4.
Why does SpamAssassin get 3.3?

Thank you & regards
Philipp

One word.. Rouding..

None of the rule scores are actually 2 digits, they're all 4 digit numbers.

Rounding errors.  The numbers are really things like 1.07 and 0.06 and
such.  when printed in the summary only the tenths are printed.  But
internally spamassassin is using the full precision available.
