Skip,

It was not my intention to shoot the messenger.
The url you didn't quote should have made it obvious:
http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/fun.html
My intention was to give some amusement to the sender, *not* to make fun
of him.

To get back on the topic of this mailing list:
I have noticed that a lot of spam contains disclaimer-ish text.
If I train spambayes with "disclaimed" ham, I fear this will "pollute" the
sb database.
The result might be that any email with a disclaimer-ish text will get a
relatively high ham score.
At the moment, I don't see a solution for this possible problem.
I *could* not train on disclaimed ham, but if most of my correspondents
have such boilerplates, training spambayes won't be very efficient.
