Basically human computers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentat Anyone using spam.el: What parts of spam.el do you like? How do you use it? What parts are too complicated? What does it not do today but should? I'll start: - I like the automatic message moving (ham out of spam groups and spam out of non-spam groups). I use that in conjunction with server-based CRM114 filtering completely outside Gnus. - the backend setup in the spam.el code is complicated. The server/topic spam-related parameters are too numerous and probably should be outside it. - first-time setup is unpleasantly complex - today it does not interact with GMail's built-in spam folders. There's been recipes for that, but it probably should just work with a simple setup statement (spam-backend-gmail?).
