[Spambayes] Training good messages has no effect

[Tim Peters]

[Hannes Scheidler, having troubles]

I strongly second Mark's suggestion that you try reducing your 100::1
ham::spam training-data ratio to something closer to 1::1.

Another thing you might want to try, based on the nature of your ham, is to
look for your spambayes .ini file and change this line:

replace_nonascii_chars: True

to:

replace_nonascii_chars: False


That isn't so important, though -- it probably won't help much.  If you keep
your 100::1 ratio and change the line:

experimental_ham_spam_imbalance_adjustment: True

to:

experimental_ham_spam_imbalance_adjustment: False

then I'm pretty sure you won't see these msgs classified as spam anymore --
but you may not see *any* messages classified as spam anymore then.  It's
really not known what will happen with such a large imbalance in training
set sizes (the code was never tested that way).
