Now I'm confused. That answer was ambiguous. Example: an incoming message has "From: Viagra Jones <[email protected]>" as a header. Bayes is configured to tokenize that, though those tokens are fully independent from tokens collected from other sources like the body or the subject. The message gets taught as spam, and then later, another incoming message has "From: Victoria Viagra <[email protected]>" in its headers. Bayes then notices that "Viagra" is there and biases accordingly. That message is also taught as spam. A third incoming message comes in, this time with "From: Daryl's Drugs <[email protected]>" and "Subject: Viagra tastes great with oatmeal" in its headers. Bayes does not factor its knowledge of Viagra into the equation because (in this example) it does not exist in the *subject* token list.
