[Spambayes] aging information

[D. R. Evans]

I will try to code this all up. Don't hold your collective breaths, 
though. The first time I ever saw a line of python code was about three 
days ago, when I had to hack part of CDDB-info.py.

So before I do anything else I need to read and digest a couple of 
python books. Then I need to understand how the spambayes code works. 
So you can see that it will take a while.

Thanks for the replies, though. This is an interesting game :-)
