This is somewhat similar to [ 765924 ] Spam / ham statistics, although
that is for the Outlook plug-in.

<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=765924&group_i
d=61702&atid=498106>

Someone is in the process of submitting a patch that will, to an extent
at least, fill that request.  Once that's done, it might be simple
enough to copy the stats part of it and make an interface to it via the
web UI.

<thinking out loud>

What would be best, I suppose, is a global option that would
enable/disable stats recording, and adding this capability to the
Message (or SBHeaderMessage) object.  I suppose all it would need to do
is save an entry of the message id, time.time(), and the
classification/training each time a message is trained/classified
(technically, whenever this information is recorded, since that's all
the Message objects know).  Whatever wants to use the stats could work
on that.  If/when the Outlook plug-in uses the Message class, it could
also use this.  (Although that's a separate issue that really must be
sorted one of these days).

</thinking out loud>

After I see what the Outlook plugin offers, I'll see about adding this.
It's not likely to arrive in the next week, though <wink>.  (Unless you
do it, and submit a patch :)
