[Bug 1006447] Re: backport _SCORE(pad)_ fix (upstream #6651)

[Daniel Convissor]

[Hmm.  I sent a reply via email.  Didn't show up.  So I'll put it in via
the web form.  Sorry if it shows up twice.]

My system puts the SA score at the beginning of the subject header and
puts the spam messages into a directory.  Then users view the spam box
in subject sorted order in their mail user agents.

Normally, they would see the least spammy messages at the top of the
list and the most spammy messages at the bottom.  This makes it easy to
spot false postivies.  But this bug means the users see the messages
with scores >= 10 on top, then somewhere down the index messages with
scores < 10 will show up.

If there's a lot of spam, the lower scored messages will be on another
page of the index.  The user may think all of the messages are very
spammy, so use some "delete all" functionality.  The upshot is the user
may inadvetently delete a false positive.

Example of Expected View:
05.3 | not so bad, maybe false positive
09.8 | getting up there!
12.2 | more spam
19.8 | come hither
... loads of other spam ...

Example of View Caused by Bug:
12.2 | more spam
19.8 | come hither
... loads of other spam ...
5.3 | not so bad, maybe false positive
9.8 | getting up there!
