-Suggestion. Develop a List of examples of SpamAssassin Headers...

[Don Saklad <ds...@gnu.org>]

-Suggestion

a) Develop a List for curious new/novice end endusers of examples of
SpamAssassin Headers b) with examples of Data that can appear in the
SpamAssassin Headers. Avoid as much as possible unexplained jargon
familiar to experts of SpamAssassin.

Or encourage folks at local configurations to develop a List !
