Dont fiddle with your Spam settings
Beware dont fiddle with your spam setting because you will lose the Add Score section and will not be put back...just another F/m feature to bite the dust.

I've lost Add Score at least twice. It's like I am now afraid to touch the Spam Protection settings since they are so "fragile". |

F/m have given me another way to show the spam score.
Settings, preferences,advanced and you can add a script in there. Hope that helps |

Huh? I see nothing in Settings//preferences/advanced about spam or adding scripts. Maybe there's something there when Add Spam disappears.

Update after replying to Bamb0 below: By the way I hope you aren't referring to specifying X-Spam-Score to Extra Headers under Reading? Because if you are then see why I don't consider that as a substitute for Add Spam's {SPAM XX.X} subject prefix. Quote:
Yes, it's redundant in the spam folder since messages there also display the spam score as a badge before the subject ion the spam folder display. But if you set up filtering to move certain categories of spam to your own folders, without the {SPAM XX.X} prefixing, the spam score info is lost. Although you can add the option to display X-Spam-Score in the emails headers that means opening up each email to see what the score is. I find it very convenient to just see the scores in my special spam category folders just at a glance. Last edited by xyzzy : 21 Sep 2019 at 01:34 PM. |

That isn't what I asked. I asked where in the advanced preference you see the option you were talking about.
I give up. I'll worry about when and if I lose the Add Spam option. |

No. Terry said back on post 5,
And I've been trying to find out what he's been talking about ever since. I've been assuming he's not talking about advanced settings' Reading/extra headers where you can add X-Spam-score to display in an email's headers after you bring it up to read because I don't consider that a replacement for the Add Spam spam protection setting which I notice in you picture you've lost too. I now think it actually is the extra headers setting he was talking about because I see nothing else there that is even remotely an equivalent of the Add Spam function (I don't want to open up the mail item to see its score). But I don't understand why it appears to be so hard for him to describe what it is he is actually talking about. |
