Emails with no text in the body
by Tim Tscott.net Sept. 24, 2009

Sept. 24, 2009

I have used SpamBayes with Outlook for years. Recently, I have been getting more emails with the sender putting the entire (short) message on the Subject line, leaving the body completely blank. This is probably a result of more people sending email from mobile devices. SpamBayes frequently (always?) moves those messages to my "maybe spam" folder, which due to my comfort with the reliability of SpamBayes, I haven't been looking at that regularly. Is there a way to stop this, so that "Subject Line Only" emails do not get moved? Thanks for the great program, and any help you can offer here.

Bug on Outlook SpamBayes toolbar
by William Makower Sept. 23, 2009

Sept. 23, 2009

I'm using Microsoft Outlook 2003 on Windows XP. Installed SpamBayes, initially all worked fine. Then the Recover from Spam and Delete from Spam buttons in the toolbar stopped working - they don't delete/move messages any more. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program but the bug persists. Anyone got any ideas? Kind regards William Makower Panlogic Ltd - Digital Communication Solutions www.panlogic.co.uk <outbind://14-0000000043E9F6DF4B547040A0A30D026679672A0700844D8AEA734719 49A4F308B8558ECC290000000057EF0000844D8AEA73471949A4F308B8558ECC29000000 07D79A0000/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.panlogic.co.uk/> Tel: +44 (0)20 8948 5511 This transmission is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Spam Suspects
by Ron Knoester Sept. 22, 2009

Sept. 22, 2009

The Spam Suspects folder has disappeared from the menu and with it, any emails allocated as suspects. As emails come through some appear to be allocated to this nominated, but now not-showing Spam Suspects folder and they simply disappear. This has even occurred whilst I was clicking on an incoming email, and it simply disappeared as I clicked on it! I cannot seem to reactivate the Suspects folder. Spambayes was reinstalled, the folder reappeared, and now it has disappeared again. The Junk email folder is still active. So if 10 emails come thought, 3 might sit in my in-box, 5 might be allocated to junk to emails, and the remaining allocated to, I assume, Spam Suspects, appear momentarily and just disappear! ????

Deleting messages in Outlook - using the wrong button. Is it just me?
by Peter Roe Sept. 22, 2009

Sept. 22, 2009

In Outlook, the toolbar has a button to 'Delete as Spam'. This is in the same place on the toolbar both in the Inbox and in the Junk Suspects folder, so I get used to clicking on it quite frequently. On the rather less frequent occasions when I go into the Junk E-mail folder, there is a button in the same place on the toolbar with a similar yellow face and I find that I have quite often clicked this to delete messages out of habit. No sooner have I clicked it that I realise that this is the 'Recover from Spam' button which has moved over from its 'normaI' place and I should have used the delete button instead, which is in a different place on the toolbar. I'm not sure of the consequences to the learning routine is having trained it well to then go and recover a whole pile of rotten spam by accident, but it is an easy mistake to make. Is there any chance please of adding a delete button on the toolbar in the Junk E-mail folder to make the user interface more consistent please? I wonder if you have been asked this before or if anyone else has done this? many thanks Peter

Deleting messages

Dear Spambayes Just one thing to suggest for an otherwise excellent program: In Outlook, the toolbar has a button to 'Delete as Spam'. This is in the same place on the toolbar both in the Inbox and in the Junk Suspects folder, so I get used to clicking on it quite frequently. On the rather less frequent occasions when I go into the Junk E-mail folder, there is a button in the same place on the toolbar with a similar yellow face and I find that I have quite often clicked this to delete messages out of habit. No sooner have I clicked it that I realise that this is the 'Recover from Spam' button which has moved over from its 'normaI' place and I should have used the delete button instead, which is in a different place on the toolbar. I'm not sure of the consequences to the learning routine is having trained it well to then go and recover a whole pile of rotten spam by accident, but it is an easy mistake to make. Is there any chance please of adding a delete button on the toolbar in the Junk E-mail folder to make the user interface more consistent please?

Re: [Spambayes] Thunderbayes bug report

Don> I just learned about Spambayes et. al. the other day when I had Don> lunch with a colleague. So I am oblivious to its history. The Don> matrix showed that ThunderBayes works with all versions of Don> Thunderbird and operating systems so I assumed I was OK in trying Don> it. I guess your message implies that it doesn't work at all (at Don> the moment) with any version of Thunderbird and that Win 98SE is Don> irrelevant to the problem. Yes, sorry about that. The matrix is a bit out-of-date. That entry dates from before we knew it was unsupported. I don't know if Win98SE is part of the problem, though it would appear to nominally be OK. The Outlook plugin is supposed to work on Win98. (What does the "SE" mean?) Just for grins I installed it on Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 on my Mac yesterday. It seemed to install ok, though I'm not sure it actually worked. (I use IMAP instead of POP3 to fetch mail.) At any rate I didn't get the error you got. I think ThunderBayes works by firing up the SpamBayes POP3 proxy (sb_server.py) in the background and just makes for tighter integration of that tool with T-Bird. If you are using POP3 to fetch your mail you might try using it directly: http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/applications.html If you are using IMAP take a look at running sb_imapfilter.py. In either case you'll have to install Python yourself. (A Windows binary version is bundled with ThunderBayes.) Python for Windows is available here: http://www.python.org/download/ Go for the 2.6.2 Windows installer, not the 3.1.1 version. Don> Let me know when something is functional again. I can test it Don> against Thunderbird on Win 98, Win 2000, XP, and Vista. I have Win Don> 7 on order for October delivery, but I have not tried to install or Don> use my beta copy. That might be awhile. Resources available to devote to SpamBayes are few and far between these days. Short term your better path to a spam-free nirvana would be installing SpamBayes 1.1a4 and running either the POP3 proxy or the IMAP filter. Skip
