You're welcome to test it <wink>, but I doubt it.  x is (in effect) the
spamprob given to a word during scoring when that word has never been seen
in the training data.  If the best cutoff value happens to be, say, 0.75, I
see no justification for saying that a msg with an unknown word has a three
quarters chance of being spam.  IOW, this seems to me to conflate unrelated
(or at best muddily related) issues.
