I know that the BayesIT plug-in works with TB!, but since I use
something else (K9 proxy), I'm not familiar with how BayesIT works.

With K9, there's a choice of having K9 put [Spam] in the subject line
of suspected email, or X-Text-Classification: spam added to the
headers. These can be used as filtering strings...so that messages
classified as spam can be placed in a spam folder (I use a single
common folder for spam from all my accounts).

Perhaps someday when I feel like messing around, I'll try the BayesIT
plug-in, but for now, I'm very happy with K9.

NO Hi All (again),

NO Still working out some issues with TB! v2.  Does v2 come with an
NO anti-spam plug-in by default?  Specifically one that would add to the

NO Thank you for any input, suggestions or solutions.

The Bat! v2 comes with the latest version of BayesIt in the
The Bat!\BayesIt folder.

When BayesIt is activated it will check incoming mails and if one of
these mails is detected as SPAM it will move it to the Junk Mail
folder. (this is configurable though). Check
Options/Preferences/Protection/Anti SPAM for more :)

You will need to train BayesIT with both SPAM and NON-SPAM (HAM) to
learn it what is spam and not.

Just select all your current SPAM and Mark as Junk, and select all
your other mails and select Mark as not Junk (from the specials
menu).

When you get a SPAM that was not caught by the filter, just mark it as
junk, and if you find a non-spam in the Junk Mail folder just Mark as
not Junk.

For me BayesIt! works 98% right now, very nice.
I also got AVG that removes 100% of all viruses.

I believe it came with BayesIT. Not 100% on that.

As for adding to the subject line, no. The plugin API isn't capable of
preprocessing messages yet. That sounds a bit confusing.

I mean preprocessing in terms of being able to do something with the
message other than moving it.
