Ah, got it... you like nice, integer spam scores, and interpolated
percentages. However, just so we're on the same page, your percentile
chart does not answer your question "what % of my mail hits a certain
score"... that's not the definition of percentile. The spam score 5 in
your chart maps to percentile 24.81, which means that 24.81 percent of
the values were *lower than score 5*, which of course is not the same as
saying score 5 was hit 24.81% of the time.
