Quick clue: I'm not using Outlook or Windows. ;-) I don't know what to do
given that Outlook shreds email so completely. Maybe this stuff can only be
tested on Unix-y machines. Maybe the image analysis code won't even work
because there's no such thing as an attachment with MIME content-type
image/*... in Outlook.
As for actual setup, it's done in what I think is the "usual" way. I start
with two or more Unix mbox format files (at least one full of ham, one full
of spam). I then run utilities/splitndirs.py to allocate them to the
desired number of Data/{Ham,Spam}/SetN directories. I then make a series of
runs like so:
# control run
python testtools/timcv.py ... args ... > std.txt
python testtools/rates.py std.txt
# one or more test runs with various parameters changed
python testtools/timcv.py ... slightly different args ... > testN.txt
python testtools/rates.py testN.txt
python testtools/cmp.py stds.txt testNs.txt
My guess is there's an easier way to run the tests and summarize the
results, but it had been awhile since I'd done any testing either. This was
the first "working" setup I stumbled upon, and thanks to my enormous bash
command history buffer, I just recall the commands as I need them, so the
pain of re-remebering is small.
HTH,
