[spambayes-dev] Correction and new question to the FAQ

[G. Armour Van Horn]

I think the long answer would be more along the lines of this:

"SpamBayes wasn't designed for that, while POPFiles was. However, like any
two-state filter, a series of SpamBayes instances could be cascaded to
filter into any number of categories, although each would need to be
trained. The result might be very effective, but not efficient."

Telling anyone to "read through the archives" is cruel, given the volume
here. I think I read every post that doesn't relate to Outlook, and even
some of those, daily. I'd hate to have to go back and find anything if I got
behind.
