I think we're really onto something here, that's bothered me for a while now.  
There is a core engine in all of this stuff that really should be packaged as 
such.  Classifier, tokenizer, the corpus stuff, and the training stuff, is 
basically it.  Corpus isn't up to the task yet, but with some rework it could 
be made usable to hammiefilter, pop3proxy, outlook, proxytee, or any other 
client type we can think up...

Richie and I have had a couple of offlist jabs at this, and I know Richie is 
in the process of ripping pop3proxy apart into smaller components...  - TimS
