A quick look at the todo, indicates several items have been coded.  They're 
available via cvs, but have not yet been built into a release (or a 
beta).  Here's the list:

1) Token aging - implemented by bogoutil in database maintenance code

4) Multiple wordlists - implemented.
    whitelists, blacklists - not implemented

6) MIME processing - implemented

7) common (neutral) words - excluded by min_dev value

The other items seem relatively minor.  I don't see them as requirements 
for 1.0.  They're generally of the "nice to have, but not necessary" flavor.

In my thoughts, encodings (base64, quoted-printable, etc), mime processing, 
and html handling have been the big ticket items.  They're pretty well 
under control, as far as I can tell.
