I use the spamasssin plugin with sylphhed-claws-gtk2.

Just 5 minutes ago came across a reference to fuzzyocr which install
as a plugin for spamasssin and now available as deb package in sid.

I decided to give it a tryout and after the usual messages got the
following

> Unpacking fuzzyocr (from .../fuzzyocr_2.3b-2_all.deb) ...

so with luck that will get rid of a few more spam emails.
