you've got my vote, because it's simple.  then again, people who use
ifile for something else then spam-filtering may not like it.  i think
all i've seen in ifile development has never deminuished applicability
to text messages, be they meail or usenet, but many have been attempts
to let it un-base64 MIME parts or whatnot.  upto now, this hasn't
happend.

have you thought about testing bogofilter?
