Clint,

I agree with you.  I don't see the point in converting the spamicity score 
to an exit code.

The score is available in the X-Bogosity line.  A bit of scripting will 
make all 6 significant digits available, rather than the 3 digits in a percent.

As has been shown, the code is easily patched to use the percent as the 
exit code.  Users wanting that feature will have to it the hard way - patch 
and build their own version.
