currently, does spambayes treat a URL as a single token or is it parsed somehow? it would seem that if URLs were parsed you would be able to train spambayes to detect mail for odious content based on components of the link. take the example: http://check.myspam.com/ad/junk?random=fsldkjflksj it would seem that the most accurate way to evaluate this would be to parse using '/' (starting after 'http://'). that would allow spambayes to evaluate the domain (check.mypam.com) while giving it the ability to differentiate between directories (which may map to users on ISP systems: http://user.aol.com/niceguy vs. http://user.aol.com/spammer). b
