I got bored last night. Really bored. Waiting for 2.6.0-test2 to compile bored. In the mean time, I went through my email archive. It goes back to last March. I sorted it into spam and ham. I then used sa-learn --showdots --ham --mbox ham & to learn all the ham, and sa-learn --showdots --spam --mbox spam & to learn all the spam and watched a few thousand dots scroll down the screen. I wasn't thinking ahead or I would have used time on it to see just how long it took (I went and did other stuff for a while. I was bored. I watched a lot of Star Trek off the Tivo and had a Proper Cup of Tea). It learned 542 spam. It learned 14,000 ham. It took forever. I wish I used time but I'm not starting it again. It didn't help that I was compiling 2.6.0-test2 in the background. It's getting warm in the apartment, so the fans on my koolance case kick up a notch every so often[1]. > sa-learn lets you feed messages to the Bayesian filter to learn from. > Bayesian doesn't need to be active for it to learn.

I added this little bit to my ~/.muttrc: macro index [ "|sa-learn --ham --single 2> /dev/null > /dev/null &<enter>" macro pager [ "|sa-learn --ham --single 2> /dev/null > /dev/null &<enter>" macro index ] "|sa-learn --spam --single 2> /dev/null > /dev/null &<enter>" macro pager ] "|sa-learn --spam --single 2> /dev/null > /dev/null &<enter>" Wham, every message can be easily run through. Autolearn becomes handy when you're on vacation (since it'll be extremely tuned). [1] The case is reminiscent of a locomotive if you look at it at the right angle. I'm thinking a cool case mod would be to add vents and and "cab windows" to make it look like one. Hey, it's already got the big radiator and fans at the top. - -- .''`.
