The nice thing about this is that SpamBayes "learns" other languages.
>90% of my mail is in Dutch, so actually SpamBayes learns much faster for
me than for an average English speaker. Everything that isn't Dutch, is
probably spam. And Spambayes "knows" this. This is sooooo cool, I really
love SpamBayes.
