Hello Stefan, ST> The thing stated in the subject can be supported if we provide some ST> additional features for plug-ins like adding menu commands, am I right? That would make supporting it easier. I'm not sure how much you know about Bayesian filtering, so forgive me if this sounds remedial. Bayesian filters need to be fed spam and good email messages and it begins to learn the difference between the two. So, a user needs a way to submit large quantities of both. This could be implemented a number of ways.. Perhaps two new "Delete" functions: "Delete as SPAM" or "Delete as HAM" (a good email). For example, I'm now taking my "spam" folder, saving it to mbox format, copying the mbox to my linux box, and then running the "learn spam" function. Then I take my "good" email from my inbox and follow the the same process, except I use the "learn ham" function, of course :) I also have to do this for each TB folder (where filtered mail goes for mailing lists, etc) since I can't export multiple folders into a single "good email" MBOX file.
Ideally (and generically, not-Bayesian specific), plugins would be able to operate on a single message or a list of selected messages. They'd also need some kind of API to to tell TB what to do. Delete the message, copy the message, mark it in some way. I'd also like to see support for DLL plugins, not just EXE. I realize that might make implementation a bit tougher, but when you start calling a filter or plugin on thousands of messages, a DLL will take a fraction of the time it's EXE counterpart to operate on all of them since the computer doesn't need to set up a subprocess, run the program, and then clean up and free up memory, for each message. Anyhow, whatever you guys decide I'm sure will be a great help and I appreciate that you are listening and asking for opinions. Thank you! -- James ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBDEV" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
