ExtractText options in user_prefs, spamd problem

Hello,

I have configured my personal user_prefs to process options for extracttext.

so far, spamd complains:

Oct 7 09:29:05 fantomas spamd[26887]: spamd: setuid to uhlar succeeded
Oct 7 09:29:05 fantomas spamd[26887]: config: failed to parse line in /home/uhlar/.spamassassin/user_prefs (line 47): extracttext_external\tpdftotext\t/usr/bin/pdftotext -nopgbrk -layout -enc UTF-8 {} -
Oct 7 09:29:05 fantomas spamd[26887]: config: failed to parse line in /home/uhlar/.spamassassin/user_prefs (line 48): extracttext_use\t\tpdftotext\t.pdf application/pdf

is there any problem with extracttext options when spamd is used?

e.g. are they considered rules? (user rules are disabled by default iirc)

They are not allowed in user_prefs

extracttext_use
extracttext_external

Dunno if the code would support that or if it would be safe to allow it.

holy sh... I see now:

CONFIGURATION
All configuration lines in user_prefs files will be ignored.

OK, I'll try that globally on my machine.
