Okay, I'm really green at this, although I occasionally am able to make some
tiny changes to Perl scripts if I'm careful. I was thinking that the To: address
is probably a really good clue to work with, so I'd like a couple of hints as to
where in tokenizer.py I should be looking.

Basically, messages that are sent to one of my actual e-mail addresses are
mostly ham, messages that are sent to some other address and get to me by bcc
are almost always spam, and those that are cc'd to me are probably a mix.

Is there a section of the code that could be duplicated and diddled to do what I
want to try?
