Actually, Spider, I was just saying to a friend this morning, my
Mac Mail.app filters based on this type of mathematics is failing
me lately... bit alarming actually, i am thinking is it the junk
algorithms not learning any more (they used to be good) or are
the spammers just on to these algorithms bigtime now. Never mind,
clients, websites... I may need to actually buy a better spam set
up for me... I suppose this is OT! But I was interested to hear
your remark about Bayesian filters. Doubtless, there are all
kinds of these...
