Are you sure that's how it works? How did you discover that? The way I thought it worked was every message that comes in gets classified as ham or spam, and is learned that way in the bogofilter DB. Then, if you take a ham message and click "Junk" the message is removed from the DB as ham and reclassified as spam. Alternatively, if you take a spam message and click "Not Junk", the message is removed from the DB as spam and reclassified as ham. This matches what I've seen in Evo, and the user interface presented. It means there's never any confusing concept of "unlearned" messages. Every message is either one or the other, and if bogofilter gets it wrong you correct it to keep your DB more accurate going forward. It may be that things work differently before you have trained 200 messages, I'm not sure (it's been so many years since I was in that position that I can't remember how it worked :-)) _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
