Well,  exactly  for  that  reason  I would like to be able to use *my* spam
email folder from the Bat to train K9.

Cheers  thanks,

OIC. Sorry for misunderstanding. Here's from the K9 site:

,- [ Initial Feeding ]
| When you run K9 for the first time you will notice that it creates 5
| sub-directories under an Emails directory, found where you installed
| K9.
| 
| Grab all of the spam emails you can find and copy them into the Spam
| directory. K9 recognizes any text files that contain the entire plain
| text version of emails, including headers, such as those exported from
| Outlook Express (*.eml), which you can drag and drop directly from OE
| into the directory. Do not attempt to place proprietary binary email
| format files here - K9 won't understand them - they must be plain text
| files.
| 
| Grab all of your known Good emails and copy them into the Good
| directory, similar to above.
| 
| Note: It isn't necessary to keep all of these emails in these folders
| for K9 to work but it is advisable to build up a good collection for
| initial training or for rebuilding the word databases at some point if

I don't believe there is. And there shouldn't be. You'd better train
K9 with the spam *you* actually receive. This way you will get K9 to
