I did not want to say that I understood your statement as being arrogant,
don't get me wrong - it just sounded somewhat naive, but as I know your
background now, its ok. :)

You are talking about the Bayes Filter plugin. The author is reading here
AFAIK, your message may have slipped his attention though, thus I took the
freedom to add to your subject line, I hope you don't mind.

Either way, with a Bayes filter (I don't know how familiar you are with the
idea/concept) I for one see little need of enhancing it with RegEx (other
than for the sheer joy of it, and speaking just for myself, I find RegEx
does not exactly give joy to me) - if you train it, it will reach high spam
recognition rates without requiring much user intervenance.
