[SpamBayes] Thunderbird Extension?

[Rick Friedman]

Actually, the integrated  Thunderbird junk mail filtering is modeled 
after Spambayes. The chief Thunderbird developer, Scott MacGregor posted 
this little tidbit on the forums at Mozillazine.org:

"We model / emulate ourselves after spambayes. We both use the same core 
algorithm. They have a lot more tokenizer rules than we do."

So, the difference would seem to be the tokenizer rules.
