you don't make any changes to the results (that is, SB was correct), training is
pretty fast. You can probably set the default radio button to be 'discard' on
the 'ham' and 'spam' and just worry about the messages that were categorized as
'unsure'. However, maybe (and I'm sure the developers can answer that) when a
message that was categorized as spam has the radio button set to 'spam', it
has the same effect as 'discard'.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma color=#008080><SPAN class=556302712-27092004>IMO, the
only activity that takes noticeable time is when you click on 'review
messages' and then the web server collects the untrained messages and displays
them, one screen per day (or maybe more). However, I get my kicks from watching
all the spams intercepted, so the wait time is well spent
:-)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I run Outlook Express 6 and my Spambayes
installation seems to work fine. It is particularly good at not
classifying "ham" as "spam". Basic questions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do I have to keep training all the messages that
keep coming in? If I'm away and come back to 100 or so, this can take
time. What happens to the messages if I don't train them?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The way I operate Spambayes is to review all
messages, reclassify a few and delete from the OE6 Inbox any that have slipped
through.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If that is normal, then that probably saves me a
bit of time. Is there anything else I should be doing, with the
Clues/Tokens thing for example?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Otherwise, keep up the good work!</FONT></DIV>
