Vincenzo, Thank you so much for explanation and the offer. Yes, please do send me the mySQL dump of your corpus. That would give me a big headstart.
Thanks again.

Hi JWM, I'm happy to see that the mailet is useful. The reason why a "real" attachment is needed is because the feeder strips out all the headers of the mail you send it, but considers as spam/nospam the headers in the attached message, which is the original one. This is because you don't want your own name/address/subject and other header stuff coming from your smtp client to be considered spam related tokens. BTW mail header info is *very* important to the spam bayesian recognition, so you definitely want the original mail header info to be analyzed. With Outlook, you simply create a new empty message with the correct TO recipient, drag+drop the original message into it and send it. It will become a new message with the original as attachment, which is different from a forward of the original. Vincenzo P.S. If you want, I can send you off-list a mysql dump of my working corpus, that has been fed with thousands of spams/nospams. Just let me know. JWM wrote: > OK, dumb question...
