Description Rajiv Manglani 2002-10-21 21:30:02 UTC 
i got mail (not spam, but got marked as spam) that originally was in
"quoted-printable" format. so ' was encoded as =B9:

We have so many wonderful films, we want to make certain that none of them
escape your attention.  Here are two hidden gems that you won=B9t want to
miss:

spamassassin marked this as spam because 'you won' matched against the YOU_WON test.

spamassassin should convert quoted printable text to whatever format it uses to
check before running the tests.

In the future please attach the entire example message via the
"Create a new attachment" link (not cut-and-paste).  It is difficult or
impossible to completely debug problems without complete examples.

If the problem was what you thought it was, it would have been completely
impossible to debug without an example because SpamAssassin does decode
quoted-printable.  There is no way it could catch spam if it did not, so
the problem would have required further work.

However, the problem here is that B9 is not the right character for '.  B9
is a superscript "1" in ISO 8859-1 which I must assume you were using, again
because you did not attach an example.  If I am wrong, please open a new bug
and attach a complete example.  Thanks.

Closing since this is not a bug.
