General characteristics would be nice.  However I know some companies 
will balk at providing too much detail about what characteristics 
they examine.  However it would be useful to have some list of 
attributes.  Our experience with most spam repositories has been that 
they assume content-filtering, and have so emasculated the headers 
that non-content-filtering solutions can't use them at all.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
