question?<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Hello all,<BR><BR>I am developing a similar spam
filter as spambayes. I am looking into the source code of spambayes
outlook plugin. I have few questions regarding how it handles email
messages. Could anyone please let me know how spambayes outlook plug-in
handles email messages? Does it add any new fields to the email? Does it use
the outlook database of emails, if so does it change email headers or
something? Where is the email database stored? So, like when a new email
message arrives in the inbox, what actions does the outlook plugin performs on
the email? What fields does it change? and what fields does it add? Could
anyone take a little bit of time in explaining me these basic principles of
the outlook plugin? I am a novice to this project and would like to know more
about the way outlook plugin works, particularly email database handling part.
I guess i have asked the question at the right place. <BR><BR>Thank you in
advance,<BR>Sanjay.<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
