FWIW, I think that SpamAssassin could be more rigorous.

So is everything else.  From what I've seen, most are also better than
Calypso.  By the looks of it, it badly mutilates replies.  Presumably
it is also broken in that it doesn't add a Message-Id: header.

No, that explanation was in a different reply, but you chose to ignore
it until proven otherwise.  There's nobody here who can prove that, so
that's probably the end of the story.
