Here's the analysis of 4 spam messages (and one false positive, caused
by forwarding the reports to myself) by the SRS. It was trained using
over 100 legit emails in my Read folder, and a very small amount of
real spam. It started by cathing almost no real spam, and today it has
caught about 60% of the day's spam. In <5 days.
