Wo-ow ! Talk about being spoiled... :-)
Of course I suspected I was not alone in wanting to do this, and that 
someone had already done it. But to see it described so exactly (only 
better and in fewer words), and done in python too, and using Spambayes, no 
less... well, I hadn't dared expect that much. Sort of makes me regret not 
asking up front for that flashy pink finish and the leather upholstery, too 
:)

Actually I should feel ashamed : such a happy ending will undoubtedly 
unleash a tsunami of rabid OT posters on this last peaceful corner of a 
beleaguered Usenet, which will subsequently collapse in the next hundred 
days, taking down with it the Internet and civilization as we know it. I'm 
really sorry folks...

Meanwhile, thanks a lot for the pointer Richie !
