We don't give any guarantees on inclusion.  But show us the code and the 
license and we can talk.  But I must admit that I stopped reading your 
other thread after I read the words "patent", "(tm)" and "100% 
Accurate" (just before your MUA stopped to add In-Reply-To headers and the 
thread was broken), so it might be a good idea if you also wrote some more 
technical description with less buzzwords so one can easily find out what 
AccuSpam(tm) is actually about and how it works.

Again:  Show us the code and we might feed it to our algorithms to see if it 
holds what you claim.  But no guarantees at all.  (Even if we don't include 
it in the core, you will have a plugin which your customers can easily add 
to their SpamAssassin installation.)
