Success !!!! Re: spamprobe-1.3x2 released

I located and installed the libungif and the new spamprobe. Ran a smoke test 
(nothing exploded) and installed to production ("production" means 3 users 
:)

No problems at all, and great success !
First off I didnt want to have to train from scratch on my annoying GIF 
spams so I ran

spamprobe train-spam  <my archive of spam>

I dont know if this did any good because <my archive of spam> was already 
tagged as spam ! but oh well gave it a shot.

one day later I am NO LONGER getting ANY of those annoying stock market 
spams with only GIFS. These have been my bane for several weeks now, but now 
they are gone.

I am a bit concerned that the GIF headers being used as the tokens are 
primarily the width and height ... but hey, so far I havent been hurt by 
spamprobe taking other things I think are "not spammy" and treating them as 
important spam tokens so I'll just trust ... so far so good (but I rarely 
get any non-spam with just a GIF ... so its not a fair test)

Good though ! Here's an example of -T output on one of these stock market 
spams ...
