Summary: Don't count classified spam as new mail

Initial Comment:
I found what "turns me on" and "off" to spam filters is 

their ability NOT to falsely indicate the arrival of new 

mail.  If a message is classified as spam, it would be 

nice if SpamBayes would not indicate it as new mail 

(sounds/tray icon envelope).

Greetings.



With respect to FAQ 3.9, it says, "Until someone comes up 

with a clever solution for all of this...".



It looks like someone has: the author of Spammunition, a free 

bayesian Outlook add-in.  Spammunition is similar to 

SpamBayes (I like SpamBayes better; it's more effective), but 

Spammunition includes an option to turn off the "new mail" 

icon if it moves spam out of your Inbox and there are no 

unread mesages remaining there.  Outlook will still play a 

sound/open a pop-up when something arrives, if you have 

Outlook configured that way.  With Outlook configured to play 

a sound, and Spammunition configured to turn off the icon 

when appropriate, you know spam has arrived because you'll 

hear the sound, but the icon doesn't show up.



Spammunition hasn't been updated in quite a while, but the 

author posted a news item on his web site saying he was 

trying to make it an open source project, so perhaps you 

could recruit him...



See http://www.upserve.com for information.



I've sent him an e-mail referencing this project.



Sincerely,



Dale Freck

Hmm.  That is an interesting idea.  I'll change this back to 

open and see what Mark thinks of it.

All too clear now.  Thank you for your prompt response.  An 

alternative solution would be to create a spambayes icon and 

update it upon success or filter.  An example that I have 

seen is JunkOut (which uses a Bayesian filter also).  Just a 

suggestion. :)
