There is a little trick to have the SPAM score displayed in each email message subject line:

webmin > servers > SpamAssassin Mail Filter > Message Modification > Prepend text to Subject: header

now change [SPAM] to [SPAM HITS]

SPAM now comes in as i.e.: [SPAM 5.5] She will be the happiest ...

Makes it much easier and faster to finetune Spamassassin for the right cut off levels.

Tried this and it did not work. The tag may have changed over the past year. Did some searching and found reference to several different tags, including HITS. What finally worked for me was _SCORE_ Note the underscore before and after SCORE. I use [POSSIBLE SPAM _SCORE_] which returns something like [POSSIBLE SPAM 17.6]
