RE: [vps-mail] imanager hack to enable bayes training

["Jim Smith" <maillists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ricardo,
Since I'm not proficient enough at programming to help with your Bayes
Training add-on, I'll just have to be your cheering section and beta tester
<grin>. Great work! I've been using it all day and I just disconnected my
squirrelmail Bayes filter because your add-on is so much better.
SquirrelMail has some nice reports on how many spams/hams have been
processed but it takes forever to refresh anything. Yours is simple, clear,
and it seems to work well (which is much better than what I'd say for my
efforts to get Bayes Filters going <grin>). I like the red highlight for the
spam messages; that is very helpful too.

I did notice that if I only have a single email in my folder, the
Spam/Nonspam buttons don't come up. This is not a major issue since I
normally have plenty more than one message to work with. Because I've been
watching my email closely, I've noticed it today but I doubt that I will
often have a single email to tag. So it's not a big deal.

So, many thanks for a great contribution. I really appreciate it.

Regards,

Jim Smith
