## SYNOPSIS
     # WARNING: requires OLD SpamAssassion 2.x, not the new 3.x
     # See [Mail::Box::Search::SpamAssassin](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3ABox%3A%3ASearch%3A%3ASpamAssassin/markdown) for the preferred interface
     # However, it is possible to do:

## DESCRIPTION
    WARNING: This module only works with the old version of SpamAssassin: version 2.x. The newer 3.x
    releases have changed the way that messages are kept. Please contribute improved code.

    The "[Mail::Message::Wrapper::SpamAssassin](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3AMessage%3A%3AWrapper%3A%3ASpamAssassin/markdown)" class --sorry for the long package name-- is a
    wrapper around [Mail::SpamAssassin::Message](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3ASpamAssassin%3A%3AMessage/markdown), which is an interface to the spam checking software
    of [Mail::SpamAssassin](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3ASpamAssassin/markdown).

## METHODS
    [Mail::Message::Wrapper::SpamAssassin](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3AMessage%3A%3AWrapper%3A%3ASpamAssassin/markdown)->new($message, %options)
        Creates a wrapper around the $message. The already present fields from a previous run of
        [Spam::Assassin](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Spam%3A%3AAssassin/markdown) (or probably fake lines) are removed first.
