Your setup is great, but there is also the plugin route.  Many people might
prefer it because it's more user-driven and doesn't depend on cron jobs and
so on.  This way also means you don't need to keep spam around in your
mailbox.

Nick Moffitt's article at http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6439
shows how to integrate Bogofilter with Mutt such that Save automatically
trains as ham, commands like Reply and so on do the same (on the grounds
that you never save or reply to spam), and there's a new Delete As Spam
command.

Nick's system does auto-training as well, so it's a little different from
what we'd expect with the current Spambayes, but the idea is the same.
It's something that Don Marti, the Limux Journal editor, was keen on (I get
the impression it's because he's a Mutt user and wants to use Spambayes as
a plugin 8-)

Wonderful - many thanks!  Hopefully Nick's article explains the idea in
full.
