Well, spamassassin does in fact 'de-fang' mime, so you've got that already. My experience with spamassassin, which is EXCELLENT, is that the key is to move all the false negatives to your spam folder and to run the sa-learn program regularly. I've also changed my rules set so that a Bayes90 hit gets an automatic 5 points. I've had 1 false positive in the last month. Spamassassin has caught between 650 and 700 in each of the last three weeks, with I'd guess 10-15 false negatives a week (e.g. 1 or 2 a day.) The number of false negatives keeps dropping the more I use sa-learn. Spamassasin is the greatest, IMHO.
