The additional trouble is that BayesIt gets worse instead of better over time. I started out at something like 30% of spam in my inbox, now I'm up to 50%. I should look for a better spam filter but I'm too busy. It's very frustrating. I mean, when I mark ten messages in a row containing the word "Replica" in the Subject line as spam, what does BayesIt think I'm trying to tell it? I've been marking "Replicas" and "V..gr.s" as spam for months, and most of them still get delivered straight to my Inbox. This is perplexing especially when the above words are included in the Subject lines in plain text without using any of the usual obfuscation means (intentional misspellings, diacritics...). BayesIt should get a clue, but it doesn't. When I tested The Bat's so-called version 3, BayesIt included in that version started putting my work email into spam, which is worse than delivering spam to your inbox, so I quickly yanked it out of my system. Wanna bet there's a new Bat version, 4.0, coming up straight on the dot on 1 September as usual?
