I am really sick of this whole concept. I just want to do something simple, but every time I try, Evolution gets in my way. Why can't you just do something simple? Why do you have to make it complicated at every single turn? > > Also, how do I track down what actually happens when I use the Junk/Not > > Junk buttons?

Well, after searching blindly through the mess of source, I finally found it in mail/em_junk_filter.c. What a heaping load of rubbish. This is the worst, undocumented pile of carp I have seen in quite a while! What are the chances that you will actually allow others to add something to this at some time in the future. As I have said, SpamAssassin stinks. The interface to spamc/spamd stinks. sa-learn stinks. Evolution junk interface stinks since it is tied exclusively to stinking spamassassin. Unless there is movement away from spam assassin, I plan to move away from evolution. /Joe _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
