I know about some problems. 2-years experience in implementation of bayesian
method give some ideas about how to improve it. However, the "core" of bayesit
which parses letters still unchanged during this period. Now, since the method
became quite popular, spammers begin to use new technics to cheat it. I am going
to change the parsing module - but this is not so easy task to be completed
immediately. I am planning to do it in the next version which will be developed
after this release.

(i've change "Ni ge rian" in your letter because my provider doesn't allow me to
send a letter with such word :) )
