> Excellent. I'll apply it to the source and check it in. Actually, I had already checked it in (last October). We just haven't had a release since then. I think it's time for a beta. Mark, how are you fixed for Windows installer creating time? Skip

How to retrain from scratch in pop3 web interface?
by skip＠pobox.com July 28, 2008

July 28, 2008

I've used the pop3 proxy's web interface as the GUI for a SpamBayes plugin for Roundup. While I'm the author of the code, other people are responsible for actually twiddling the bits on the server, so I have no access to the SpamByaes instance except through the web interface. I don't see any way to retrain from scratch via that interface. Am I missing something? Thx, Skip

Jesse> Sounds like a problem in ThunderBayes, which is distinct from Jesse> SpamBayes. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4025 Jesse> says ThunderBayes "1.0.1 is a bug fix release. It fixes issues with Jesse> loading and saving ThunderBayes settings." If you don't have that Jesse> version, an upgrade might fix your problem. Otherwise, you should Jesse> probably contact the ThunderBayes developers. I exchanged email with the ThunderBayes author several months ago about sucking its source into the SpamBayes repository. He's discontinued development, so it makes some sense to pick it up. OTOH, the SpamBayes crew isn't overburdened with developers just sitting around twiddling their thumbs, so we might not be able to give it much more love than it's currently receiving. Is there *anyone* in the SpamBayes community with an interest in ThunderBayes and some time to devote to making sure it works with the current version of SpamBayes? Since it's (probably?) written in JavaScript it might be worthwhile to cast our net into that community. -- Skip Montanaro - skip(a)pobox.com - http://www.webfast.com/~skip/ ------ ELON MUSK: If fuel cells were good, don't think you'd see them somewhere, like maybe in a laptop or a cell phone or a $200 million military satellite maybe?

Re: [spambayes-dev] =Spambayes= PLEASE REPLY TO THIS EMAIL _ IT IS VERY IMPORTANT

Hi, Mail Chain moved from Spambayes User list. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/spambayes/2008-June/021978.html Though I would usually agree with this, now that I have spent a few months on this list I find that the number of people to whom this causes serious distress is significant. The warning IS there when you sign up but I imagine that I didn't read it and I can therefore see how many others might not have either. Good software practice involves checking with users when a decision they have made is going to have a serious impact: "Do you want to save the changes before exiting: Yes/No/Cancel" being the obvious example. To that end, I suggest that someone who knows how might add a confirmation checkbox and popup window to the sentence: "Please note that this is a public mailing list: all messages sent to this list are visible to the public, and are publicly archived." The point would be that you can click on a link to pop up a box which explains the public nature of this list. There would also be a check-box which you have to check to acknowledge that you understand, before it will allow you to click the "Subscribe" button at the bottom of the page. A bit like the "Terms & Conditions" check-boxes in many corporate download sites.

All lists are public, and all are publicly archived. This is normal practice for open-source projects, and you should be aware that all email sent to one of these addresses will be visible to the world _______________________________________________ SpamBayes(a)python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Info/Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
