I don't like the subjects to be altered (you have to think of it each time when you reply/forward unless you clean the subject in TB! with a regex-enhanced template for replies and forwards) - obviously, I'm using the x-text-classification header. :) This has other advantages: you can configure TB! to show the header, as well as the reclassification URL of PopFile in the header pane of the preview window, thus checking wether the classification is correct and, in case PopFile made a wrong classification, reclassify is only one click away. *nice* > Can I expect it to be faster then the current default plugin in V3.0? Depending on how much mail you get (well, being on this list alone brings quite some each day ATM...) it may be slower (but I used BayesIt only a very short time). After all PopFile is written in Perl, and Bayes analysis requires a database (mine is 1.4MB right now). And be aware that PopFile can be quite a resource hog - using concurrent POP connections results in 100% CPU-load peaks during mail retrieval, and memory usage is something like 20MB here, always. Another note: of course, every Bayes filter requires training - it needs to know which messages is spam, which is ham, at least (but keeping only spam and ham apart is not all PopFile will do for you, of course). That is so much easier in PopFile with the use of magnets. For example, set up a magnet that will put every mail from this list into a bucket "genuine" (or whatever you want to call it) - PopFile learns from every magneted message and you have a big "ham" database in no time. JFYI: I have seven buckets in PopFile (english, german, spam, invoices, newsletters, ebay, orders) and run the program since 21-Jul-2004. Accuracy is 98.51% at the moment, with a total of 4313 messages classified and 64 classification errors. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) I'm afraid of losing my obscurity.
