   I'm going to make a radical suggestion. The issue raised by Ms
   Delaval arises daily in this forum, and I think it stems from the
   fact that Spambayes is not enabled by default (since you have to
   pick your way through the training process first). Why not make the
   initial training optional and enable Spambayes by default? You'd
   need to include a few sample ham and spam messages to prime the
   process, but that's easy enough. Doing it this way would retard
   Spambayes's ability to adapt itself to the individual user, but it
   would catch up eventually. And a user who actually bothered to read
   the installation instructions could do it right, just like now. ;^)

I do this on CRM114- the kit comes with prebuilt databases 
of around half a meg each of good and evil, all 100% hand-vetted.

Whether you keep them, toss them, or build from them is your own
decision.
